TikTok man sentenced to indeterminate detention

Theodor Lund, known as the ‘TikTok man’, has been sentenced to indefinite detention by the Eastern High Court for raping and assaulting multiple women and girls. The unanimous jury emphasized the number and severity of his crimes. Psychiatric reports indicate he is an imminent danger to others. Lund, also known by his former name Mikkel Bentsen, gained notoriety on TikTok, where he amassed thousands of followers. He repeatedly denied the allegations in both the city court and the high court. The court found him guilty of five rapes, twin rapes of a minor, an attempted rape, other sexual assaults, and violations such as violence, unlawful coercion, and threats. There were over 20 female victims, and some were present in court, expressing relief at the verdict.
