A trans-identified male in Norway currently appealing a conviction for the rape of a young girl has announced that he has begun the process to change his legal sex marker to ‘female.’ Damien “Damia Scarlet Rose Nesne” Baar, 45, was convicted last year of the rape of a girl while she was between the ages of 12 and 14.
Independent journalist Elin Gregusson attended court proceedings this week in the Gulating Court of Appeal, which heard arguments from Baar and two other men who were convicted for sexually abusing the girl. Gregusson discussed the proceedings via a series of Facebook posts.
“Today, the 45-year-old [Baar] declared that next Friday he will submit documentation that will allow him to become a legal woman,” Gregusson wrote on January 14.
“So absurd has Norwegian law become that this plan is, by all accounts, going to be realized… He will consequently receive a new social security number and be registered as a woman in public registers. Perhaps also as a female criminal in the crime statistics. In the worst case, the Norwegian Correctional Service could decide that he should have his wish fulfilled to serve his sentence in a women’s prison.”
In addition to announcing his plan to change his legal sex, Baar stated that he had endured a difficult life as a result of being “transgender,” and demanded he receive surgeries and hormones subsidized by taxpayers while incarcerated.
Baar’s defense attorney Ivar Abrahamsen questioned how his client’s mental health had been affected by his conviction. In response, Baar lamented that “shitty tabloid newspapers” had published photos of him, which caused him to be thrown out of his local bar.
Defense attorneys had previously attempted to argue for leniency for their clients by pointing to a news report published by Reduxx in January which named the men and shared their photos. However, the court disagreed with the contention that this constituted a mitigating circumstance.
In May 2025, Baar and one other trans-identified male, Even “Eevee” Seberg, were convicted of sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 14 and an instance of gang rape in which “the act [was] committed by several people together… in a particularly painful or particularly offensive manner.” Both men claim to be trans women, and committed the sexual abuse alongside a third man, Kenneth Langvatn Aakre.

The sexual abuse of the child first came to the attention of authorities on the night of June 3, 2024, after Aakre was seen kissing the victim on the mouth and grabbing her genital area while on public transport. Aakre and Baar had plied the victim with alcohol, and the three were leaving a Pride festival in Bergen. Charges laid in the indictment included the procurement of alcohol for a minor.
On June 1, 2024, Baar and the girl met Seberg in Losjehaven, where they attended the Pride Festival, before returning to Baar’s apartment. Between June 1 and 3 both men sexually abused and raped the girl on multiple occasions, with the court noting that they had used “sex toys” on the victim. Baar photographed one incident as Seberg sexually abused the child. The men then urinated on the girl while she was taking a shower.
According to the judgement, Seberg’s attempts to penetrate the girl had failed because “she [Seberg] lost her erection.” Seberg was therefore given a reduced sentence of one year and six months on the charge of aggravated sexual conduct, as attorneys had maintained that he was unable to maintain an erection when attempting to rape the young girl. He was also ordered to pay a fine of 200,00 Norwegian kroner.
During a police interrogation, Baar admitted to having raped the girl “several times” on the night of May 31, 2024, when she was thirteen years old. During questioning, Baar admitted to having had a history of abusing the victim, noting another incident of sexual abuse had taken place during a weekend in September 2023.
Baar was sentenced to five years and nine months in prison, and has been ordered to pay a 350,000 Norwegian kroner ($34,600 USD) fine.
While Aakre was also charged with sexual activity with a child, he has not been accused of participating in the rape or gang rape of the girl. Aakre was sentenced to sixty days imprisonment with a reduction for time detained, and was ordered to pay a fine of 30,000 Norwegian kroner.
Baar and Seberg were additionally charged and found guilty of producing images of child sexual abuse involving the victim.
Hordaland court records reviewed by Reduxx state that the victim was an at-risk youth due to “life challenges,” and that the three men “exploited her vulnerable situation.” Sentencing documents further reveal that the victim had been struggling with an eating disorder and had recently been reported as missing from a child welfare institution.
Gregusson, commenting on the proceedings in the Court of Appeal this week, noted that although the victim had been living in a child welfare institution, representatives from the state-funded service neglected to appear in court.
“I wonder why no one from the [child protection] ministry or the BUF Directorate is following the trial. The hearing bench should have been full of bureaucrats who supposedly work for the best interests of children. They would want to learn. The same applies to the press. It seems that interest disappeared when Nettavisen and Subjekt reported the case truthfully, stating that the convicted were men who wanted to serve time in women’s prisons.”
The three defendants sit together in court, each with their own defense attorney,” Gregusson continued. “They have access to everything and listen to each other. They and their professional lawyers can collaborate so that the explanations are as consistent as possible. The victim is not present. No one from child welfare, either. The imbalance is palpable.”
Gregusson said that during the appeal, Baar blamed the young girl for the sexual abuse, describing himself as “people-pleaser” who “struggles to say ‘no.'”

Reduxx previously reported on the case, and was able to locate social media profiles belonging to the three men, most of which have since been hastily deleted.
On X, Seberg describes himself as “trans fem,” and “pansexual,” and frequently interacts with transgender and hentai pornography accounts. In one disturbing post dated October 2024, Seberg said he “prefer[s] to get raped by girldick.” On Facebook he refers to himself as “a bit odd, but kind.”
Baar and Seberg are mutual contacts on the world’s leading fetish network FetLife, where Seberg describes himself as a “trans woman” with a “perverted stream of consciousness.”
In a journal entry posted to FetLife in October last year, just four months after he and Baar allegedly raped the young girl, Seberg wrote, “Have you ever seen a girl and thought not just that she is pretty, but that you wish you could be her? Well, most of us that have that experience are trans girls, but not everyone arrives at the realization at the same time.”
Baar is similarly active in BDSM-themed groups on FetLife, and claims that he “came out as trans” in February 2021.
“I guess I’m more Finic than Lesbian,” reads Baar’s profile. “Finic is a term for people on the multisexual spectrum who have a preference towards people who are feminine in nature (FIN). This can refer to people who are attracted to feminine or woman-aligned genders, such as people who are fingender or fiaspec. It can refer to people who are attracted to a feminine gender presentation (regardless of the person’s actual gender).”
Baar describes himself as a voyeur, exhibitionist, sadist, and “brat tamer,” and lists “group sex” as one of his fetishes. Other fetishes listed by Baar include “pain,” “screaming,” and “tearing off clothing.” On Instagram, Baar has shared photos of himself edited with FaceApp to resemble a young girl.
