Dagbladet has revealed a closed forum on Telegram for Norwegians with over 9,000 members. It is only allowed to share pictures of Norwegian women and girls, according to the internal rules of the forum. Dagbladet has seen the rules.
The forum has been active since March.
– I have seen many celebrities, who I don’t think know that they appear in there, says “Member X”.
Among other things, Dagbladet has seen pictures of artists, influencers, reality celebrities and sports profiles.
Member X is a Norwegian woman who runs OnlyFans. Behind the scenes, she and a network of dozens of women have formed a cover group. They have joined the forum with fake usernames to identify the masterminds and the girls sent in the chat.
private pictures
Dagbladet is not part of the forum, but we have gained access to and reviewed several thousand screenshots and several hours of screen recordings from the inside. We choose not to write the name of the group, because it is still active.
Several of the pictures that Dagbladet has seen of the celebrities appear to be private pictures that were never meant to be made public. Dagbladet has recognized dozens of celebrities. Several different photos of the various celebrities are also shared.
– Sometimes you can take pictures to document something, and I don’t think so Celebrity (Dagbladet’s censorship) took those pictures so that they would end up there, says “Member X” about one of the pictures of the celebrities that was shared.

– Too bad for her
In many of the pictures you can clearly see who is depicted. Dagbladet has seen pictures of several different celebrities, who are known for various things.
– I never asked to see either Celebrity2 thus. I feel sorry for her, says Member X about another picture.
The cover group of women has documented large parts of the forum as evidence. Several of them have reported the case.
Despite the fact that the rules state that it is only allowed to send pictures of Norwegian women and girls, some male celebrities appear. Many of the photos Dagbladet has seen are also taken in sexual settings.
Three arrested
The police in Trøndelag confirmed in a press release on Thursday that two people were arrested in Trondheim in April.
They have been arrested and charged with sharing sexualised images of people without consent.
On Wednesday this week, a third person was arrested in Eastern Norway. He is charged with possessing and sharing media files showing sexual abuse of children.
– After receiving a tip in mid-April, the police have used large resources and worked interdisciplinary in the investigation of the case. We have also received assistance from Kripos, says prosecuting officer Suzanne Molund in Trøndelag police district in the press release from the police.
The group in question – which Dagbladet revealed on Wednesday – has had several thousand members.
– Questioning is ongoing in the case, including of persons with the status of being offended, the police write in the press release.
