Trial Set for Gjert Ingebrigtsen Amid Allegations of Abuse by Olympic Athlete Sons
Gjert Ingebrigtsen, father of Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen, will face trial next year after being charged with physical and mental abuse. The charges stem from allegations made by his sons, who claim Gjert was violent and controlling. Despite their accusations, Gjert denies any wrongdoing and maintains his innocence. The trial is expected to take place in the first half of 2025, as confirmed by the Norwegian public prosecutor’s office, following earlier charges in April that led to dropped cases.
