Yahya Hassan’s female teacher faces charges for having sex with him when he was 16

Poet’s contact person faces date in court next month

A sexual relationship described in the written words of the participants has now landed one of the lovers in the crosshairs of the legal system.

It involved one of this nation's most famous teenagers, the controversial, Islam-critical poet Yahya Hassan, and a female teacher more than twice his age.

According to BT, Louise Østergaard, a 38-year-old teacher, instructed Hassan in Danish at a school in Farsø near Aarhus and became his contact person with the council after he left the school. 

Shortly afterwards, she became his lover.

Østergaard is accused of having sex with Hassan while she was his contact person and he was 16 years old. 

The tryst is said to have taken place in an Aalborg apartment in 2012.
