Aftenposten.no could report Friday morning that the man arrested Friday
morning is an affluent father of two in his mid-50s. His arrest was
based on DNA analysis.

The suspect now in custody lives in the Bergen area, has run his own
business for several decades and his tax returns show he has a net worth
of NOK 6.9 million, with annual income of more than NOK 3 million. He
was also arrested on suspected child molesting charges in 1999, but
later released.

The suspect is known for cutting holes in his trouser pocket and then
asking young boys to help him get something out of his pocket.

Instead, the unsuspecting boys would end up touching the man's sexual
organ. While many would manage to run away, police now report that in
some of the assaults, the so-called "Pocket Man" would force the boys to
perform oral sex on him.

Police fear that many assaults have gone unreported, but investigators
suspect more than 300 boys have been assaulted since the 1970s. That
would make the "Pocket Man" the worst serial offender in Norwegian
history.

Investigators have been on the offender's trail for years, but were
continually frustrated as he eluded capture. Aftenposten's magazine A-
Magasinet had reported Friday that police were finally closing in on
him, because they were able to patch together a DNA profile on the man
based on evidence obtained in 1995.

If wasn't possible to analyze the evidence with DNA testing at that
time, but police froze it and now have the technology necessary.

Police have investigated 150 cases that will be put forth in an eventual
court case.
