US EditionProsecutors seek prison sentence for Ingebrigtsen father, Norwegian media report
- Norwegian prosecutors have requested that Gjert Ingebrigtsen be sentenced to two and a half years in prison for allegations of mistreating his children Jakob and Ingrid during a trial that started in March 2025.
- The case follows allegations of physical and psychological violence occurring between 2008 and 2022, which Gjert denies despite his children’s accusations.
- Jakob Ingebrigtsen, a twice Olympic gold medallist and back-to-back world 5,000m champion, testified about a childhood marked by fear, manipulation, and violent incidents.
- Prosecutor Ellen Gimre emphasized that imprisonment without conditions is typically the baseline response in such situations due to the ongoing anxiety caused by repeated acts of violence, while Gjert’s defense attorney argued for a not guilty verdict.
- If convicted, Gjert faces up to six years in prison; the sentencing recommendation and testimonies suggest serious implications for his legal and personal standing.
