It says Michael Bjorn Hansen, who is a defender in 18 cases in the historic Umbrella-complex, where more than a thousand mainly children and young people has been charged, indicted and convicted for having shared a video of a sexual nature with a 15-year-old girl and a boy.

– It is quite horrible. It is over 1000 young people who become hostages of a social problem. There is not a single of them, who have paedophile tendencies, says the lawyer.
