Local media reported on Wednesday that 64 former female members of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation's (DR) girls' choir were harassed by six men.
This was acknowledged by the director of culture, children and youth at the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), Henrik Bo Nielsen, at a press conference on Wednesday evening, where the results of a lawyer's investigation into abuses in the girls' choir were presented.
Earlier this year, the DR launched an external legal investigation after former choir members contacted the body about reports of harassment in the prestigious choir, and the investigation subsequently revealed serious violations, according to Henrik Bo Nielsen.
No cases of abuse have been uncovered since 2010, and none of the six adults are employed by DR anymore, according to Henrik Bo Nielsen.
وقد تم إرسال موظف في DR إلى المنزل نتيجة التحقيق، وفق ما قالته المديرة العامة في DE ماريا روربي رون وأضافت: “إن الشخص المعني لم يعمل بجوقة الفتيات في الآونة الأخيرة، والشخص ليس من بين البالغين الستة الذين عرّضوا الفتيات لسوء المعاملة”.
Today there are about 50 members in the choir, aged between 15 and 22.
The majority of the abuses occurred more than 20 years ago, and therefore during the tenure of Tage Mortensen, who was the division's chief commander for over 35 years, according to the report. Tage Mortensen died in 2001.
