Hi, everyone. My mother is a Danish citizen living in Denmark. She just reached out to me and told me that she was sexually assaulted by her massage therapist today. He groped her breasts (including her nipples) and butt repeatedly while breathing in her ear and telling her how beautiful she is. She froze, because she was terrified in this situation, and now isn't sure what to do. I'm in America and am unfamiliar with Danish laws. Can she report him to a kind of better business bureau or go to the police? What options do we have for making sure this doesn't happen to anyone else? Thank you so much for any insight you can provide!

kp8krchI agree that it could and should be A LOT better here in Denmark, but still it is important to report sexual assault - every time! If we stop doing that, then the disgusting creeps have won for good.
Do not worry about any financial problems for your mother. It will not cost her any money, no matter how far the case goes. That’s for sure.
My best advice is to make sure she takes another person with her, when she goes to report it. In my experience officials make more of an effort if there are several people in the room. Same goes with doctors etc.
Also, she should get a confirmation in writing, that she has reported him to police. If she chooses to contact the organization for massage therapist (I forger the name), then she should also send that in writing and ask to get written confirmation that they received her complaint. Documentation is important!
Good luck to you and your mother - and please reach out if you need any more information etc.
