Grooming is when someone builds a relationship, trust, and emotional connection with a child or young person (under 18 years old) so they can manipulate, exploit, and abuse them. The law passed by the Parliament against digital sexual abuse also contains stricter rules on sextortion (previously 2 years in prison, now up to 8 years) and an expansion of the “school teacher paragraph” (which prohibits sexual relations between teachers or trainers and students under 18) to include defamation.
From July 1, 2023, grooming will be punishable by two years in prison in Denmark
