these are serious accusations, as in the weekend was the members of Liberal Alliance Youth to overthrow the now outgoing president Carl Andersen.
It appears by a note, which Ekstra Bladet can reveal the contents of the. The memorandum was presented to the LAU’s members on ungdomspartiets resignation in the weekend.
the Reports come from seven very young women, who have had close encounters with men at the top of the LAU’s organization.
the Women’s narratives are collected and anonymized by former LAU president Rasmus Brewer, who on landsmødet required to ungdomspartiets management withdrew.
the Contents of the memo paints a grim picture of an organization where young men have molested, looked down upon, harassed, drugged and even raped young female party members.
the Men faced the women, silence, befamlet them and demanded sexual images through social media.
Copenhagen Police informs to Ekstra Bladet, that the cases now being investigated. Whether there has become made arrests or raised charges, the police will not disclose.
None of the women went to the police when the abuse took place, for fear of the men and their reputation in the party.
Including the three specific reports from the memorandum:
A woman tells about an incident when she was 16 years old. He was 18.
she says She had to spend the night with the man after a partiarrangement, ‘so I shouldn’t take all the way home late in the evening’.
‘When we got home, he sat on top of me after we had been little as well as talked about a little differently. He gave me stranglehold twice, after we had talked, where I could not breathe, and began subsequently to touch my body.’
A woman tells that she as a 15-year-old was sexually assaulted in a toilet in 2015 by a 16-year-old male member.
‘… I was fainted on a toilet to LAU event. I remember not really drinking a lot, but I end up in the least unconscious in the restroom, where he forgriber on me.’
‘He later admitted the abuse to an acquaintance, which we both have in the LAU.’
‘I’ve gone to psychological treatment in a year and a half after the incident and the suffering of the day in the day of distress and PTSD’.
A woman tells, that she at the age of 17 years woke up smeared in his own puke on a 21-årigs room. She could not remember anything.
Prior is gone one evening, where she ended up on a toilet with the young man. She may not remember what happens before or after.
‘I crack its head into the stone floor, in a puddle of my own puke. My friend quickly runs for help and comes back. The offender is moving along and says something like: ‘I have a good lawyer, so you must not think about anything’.
Information writing today, Monday, that the executive committee of the LAU is already in the summer, we discussed what to do about a number of abuses.
Participating at the meeting in June was also the newly elected president, Signe Bøgevald Hansen. She acknowledges that ungdomspartiet has handled cases miserable.
– overall, we have not handled it well enough. I’m sorry, and so it is very important that we have now done the right thing going forward, she says.
the Party leadership tried at first to claim that they only knew of a single case of sexual assault, but the minutes of the meeting of the executive committee in June demonstrates a different reality.
for Information rejects the outgoing president, Carl Andersen, to comment further:
– I is additionally deeply disappointed with the people that leak the minutes, which doesn’t make any sense outside of context, and for those who have not been present. So therefore, I want not actually to talk more with you, ” he says to the newspaper.
