A witness has provided testimony about an afterparty ('nachspiel') that took place in spring 2024, characterizing the environment as unsettling and likening it to 'the lion's den.' The witness, who lives with the victim, noted that although the overall atmosphere seemed calm, there was an underlying feeling of discomfort among the attendees. She pointed out that some men appeared to be overly eager for physical intimacy, which made her feel uneasy.

The witness recounted an incident where one man, whom she had not spoken to previously, abruptly asked if she would sleep with him. This was indicative of a broader trend of inappropriate advances during the gathering. She also recalled a specific moment where she briefly sat on the lap of another man named Høiby while waiting for a seat, which escalated when he allegedly groped her for a brief period before she chose to leave the situation quietly rather than create a scene.

Furthermore, the witness stated that the victim had previously left the afterparty with Høiby, which adds an important context to the victim's experience at the event. The testimony reveals the potential for harassment and the challenges individuals face in such settings, particularly in balancing their discomfort with the desire to avoid confrontation. This account may have significant implications for understanding the dynamics of consent and behavior at social gatherings.
