The case began when health authorities reported suspicious activities to the police in August 2022. Following a year-long investigation, police revealed disturbing findings, including recordings from a hidden camera installed by Bye himself. The women who bravely shared their experiences span in age from 14 to 67, revealing a distressing pattern of non-consensual behavior that violated their trust and dignity.

Judge Espen Haug emphasized the severity of Bye's actions in court, stating, "His actions have undermined public trust in the health service as well as doctors in general." As deliberations concluded, the courtroom witnessed a tense silence before Bye was handed his maximum sentence, with prosecutors stating they would review the verdict for any potential appeals.
