- On June 6, 2025, a Norwegian court sentenced 55-year-old physician Arne Bye to 21 years in prison after he was found guilty of perpetrating 70 instances of rape and sexual abuse at his medical practice in Frosta.

- Ninety-Four women testified, detailing non-consensual touching and unauthorized digital penetration without medical justification, all of which legally constitutes rape under Norwegian law.
- Judge Espen Haug described the case as "very serious" and Bye's actions as "absolutely unacceptable" since they occurred where patients should feel safe.
- The court barred Bye from practicing medicine indefinitely and ordered financial compensation for the victims, reflecting the severity and breach of trust in the health service.
