Shocking! Schjelderup in big trouble away from Benfica: I hope for punishment | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup is at the center of a major controversy in his home country, Norway. The player will face court over accusations made against him, and in the meantime, he has already admitted guilt, stating that he expects to be convicted for actions he took before joining Benfica.

The accusation against Andreas Schjelderup is the sharing and distribution of sexual images of minors. The case was exposed by the player himself through his personal Instagram account, regarding a situation that allegedly occurred two years ago when he was at Nordsjaelland.

"When my friend alerted me about the content, I deleted it immediately," Andreas Schjelderup began writing on his personal Instagram page - the player, it should be noted, was called up for the Norwegian national team.

Schjelderup is being accused under Article 235, second paragraph, of the Danish Penal Code. This accusation is related to the possession or sharing of sexual material showing individuals under 18, something the Benfica player has already admitted to.

Andreas Schjelderup has confessed that he did not think "about the consequences and that it could have been serious." However, he admits that he expects to face the consequences of his actions: "What I did was illegal. I hope to be convicted and receive a suspended sentence (...) I want to apologize to the people affected by the video, to friends, family, and all the supporters I have disappointed."
