One of Norway’s top child-protection policy experts, Jo Erik Brøyn, was sentenced to prison under the country’s child pornography laws. His arrest further discredits Norway’s Child Protection Services.

A child psychiatrist and top child protection expert, 56-year-old Jo Erik Brøyn, who became the single father to two Indian surrogate babies in 2010, has been sentenced to nearly two years of jail under Norway’s child pornography laws.

Brøyn was found guilty of possessing and sharing an enormous quantity of material—about 200,000 pictures and 4,000 hours of video—showing children subjected to brutal sexual abuse.

The indictment against Brøyn reads: “Pictures and videos show sexual abuse committed by adults against children, sexual acts between children, and children performing sexual acts on themselves.”

This case is symptomatic of the Norwegian child protection services (CPS).

The system is known as the “Barnevernet”.

It demonstrates the double standards of people in authority.

They exercise their power through what they do and say in relation to the strict legislation regarding children.

Most would argue that they exercise too much power.

The Norwegian police were notified of Brøyn’s possession of this material as far back as 2014, by the Swiss police.

However, Brøyn was not stopped from continuing as an expert and child psychiatrist in the CPS system for several years thereafter.

He has been downloading abuse material from 1997.
