Basshunter pleads not guilty to sexual assault charges
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 13 January 2011
Basshunter, aka Jonas Altberg, was in court in Kirkcaldy, Scotland yesterday to face those previously reported allegations he sexually assaulted two girls during a gig at a nightclub in the Fife town last year.
Two female clubbers have made allegations against Altberg. One says the dance music star grabbed her by the hair and pushed her head towards his groin, while another says he also pushed her towards his groin and then bent over her. They also allege he pulled up the second girl’s dress.
Altberg attended the court hearing with his manager and pleaded not-guilty to both sets of charges. He will now face trial in May. Both Altberg and his manager refused to speak to reporters as they left the court.
