In Norway Paradise hotelseries production company Nent Group has announced the removal of the season shown last summer from Viaplay and Viafree streaming services.
The reason is the serious sexual offenses of the winner of the series, which are reported in the Norwegian media VG.
It emerged on Monday that the man who won the series has been sentenced to four years and five months in prison for raping a 14-year-old.
The man collected a pot of NOK 250,000 for winning the series. The amount is in euros about 25,000. The production company has taken the money back and donated it to charity.
In court, the man admitted to lying to the production company. He had claimed to the company that there was no ongoing police investigation into his actions.
Series has already been shown in Norway, but will no longer be available in the streaming service.
Paradise hotel is a reality TV concept where participants compete in pairs for a cash prize and at the same time seek love. An essential part of the series is plotting and creating different relationships. It is not worth staying single, because then you are in danger of falling out of the competition.
Also Accusations of sexual offenses by those participating in the reality TV series have spoken in Finland.
Currently in the pipeline Temptation Islandin the single in the tenth term is charged with aggravated rape and aggravated sexual exploitation of a child.
The South Karelia District Court confirms to HS that the charges are still pending and that two hearing dates have been set for May. These are charges, ie the participant has not been convicted, at least for the time being.
According to Seiska, he has several criminal convictions in other cases. Seiska said last fall that the other three in the series also have different convictions in the background.
Temptation Islandin the tenth season is just coming to an end, with only a few episodes left to show.
Nelosen television director Ville Toivonen says in an email that the series is still scheduled to be completed as originally planned.
Information about the charges came to light before the series was televised. Several media outlets reported in October and November last year.
Temptation Island The idea of the concept is to test the strength of couples leaving the series. In the series, couples are separated from each other, and the busy are entertained by a number of singles who can seduce them.
There is a rule in the series rather than an exception that some of the participants have sex with each other.
Production company Banijay Finland and Nelonen have both previously commented to various media outlets that the single in question would not have been included in the program if the charges had been known to the company and the channel.
Toivonen states to HS that Temptation Islandin nothing suspicious has happened in the descriptions.
“So nothing is happening in the program itself that would give a reason not to show it. We think this is also fair to the other participants who have given the program their time and personality. They are innocent of the negative consideration given by one participant. ”
According to Toivonen, the accused person has been removed from, among other things, a series of advertisements, the viewing of which cannot be influenced by the TV viewer himself.
Is money the reason we haven’t stopped showing the series?
Toivonen does not answer this question.
Helsingin Sanomat and Nelonen, which present Temptation Island, belong to the same Sanoma Group.
