According to the Greenlandic media Sermitsiaq (https://www.sermitsiaq.ag/samfund/37-arig-mand-anklaget-for-omfattende-seksuelle-overgreb-mod-unge-drenge/2231996), the indictment includes offenses against a total of 11 boys.

The boys were, according to the prosecution service, subjected to a series of serious offenses, including indecent exposure, rape, and sexual acts for payment.

Several of the offenses were recorded with hidden cameras, and the seized video material has a total playing time of over 41 days.

The convicted man was charged with a total of 66 different offenses, but it is still unknown how many he has been found guilty of.

Greenland Police have confirmed to Sermitsiaq that the man is known for having committed similar offenses in the past.

The man has appealed Friday's sentence to the Greenlandic Supreme Court.
