Gjert Ingebrigtsen denies abuse accusations in emotional trial

In an ongoing trial in Norway, Gjert Ingebrigtsen, father of Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen, has been accused of physically abusing his children, including Jakob and his daughter Ingrid. The trial has garnered significant media attention as it involves serious allegations that could lead to a maximum sentence of six years in prison for Gjert. Over two weeks, accusations have surfaced, particularly from his daughter, who detailed incidents of violence, including an allegation that Gjert struck Jakob multiple times when he was a child.
