The prosecution is seeking at least three months of unconditional imprisonment for TV host Sisse Sejr-Nørgaard, convicted of stalking and identity theft. The State Prosecutor in Copenhagen announced this demand in the High Court on Friday.

The prosecutor argues for a harsher sentence, despite the City Court’s initial ruling of a 30-day suspended sentence in March, a sentence both the prosecutor and defense initially accepted.

The State Prosecutor believes the punishment should be both unconditional and longer, a stricter stance than the Copenhagen Police prosecutor took in the City Court. The prosecutor emphasized the debilitating impact of stalking, even without physical contact.

The prosecution highlighted Sejr-Nørgaard’s prior knowledge of identity theft’s effects, stemming from her hosting the DR documentary series “My Life Has Been Stolen” in 2017, arguing she knowingly exploited this knowledge.

Sisse Sejr-Nørgaard acknowledged the extensive media coverage’s significant consequences on her family, friends, and finances, admitting her fault and expressing the need to move forward. She also stated that the Supreme Court has previously established that stalking should generally be punished with unconditional imprisonment.

The case revolves around incidents last summer when Sejr-Nørgaard stalked and committed identity theft against a woman she believed was having an affair with her husband, journalist Esben Bjerre.

Sejr-Nørgaard admitted to entering the victim’s personal information on numerous forms, resulting in unwanted newsletters, booking confirmations, calls, and messages. She described her actions as “complete idiocy” and attributed them to personal struggles, including family illness.

Sejr-Nørgaard has apologized to the victim, both in the City Court and again in the High Court. However, the prosecutor contends that her explanation lacks genuine remorse and understanding of the victim’s situation.

A judgment is expected later on Friday.
