4 сентября 2013 г. вокалисту шведской Black/Death-группы Necrophobic Тобиасу Сидегорду был вынесен приговор в виде 18 месяцев заключения по обвинениям, связанным с т.н. "домашним насилием"; Тобиас немедленно обжаловал приговор, который в итоге был сокращен до 6 месяцев. Кроме того, ему предписано уплатить в пользу супруги крупную сумму.
Сообщается, что блэк-металлист бил и орально насиловал жену, а также порол дочек самодельной плетью. Сам Сидегорд утверждал, что обвинения преувеличены и частично беспочвенны, т.к. все "аморальные" действия с женой происходили в рамках добровольного BDSM, а дочек он хлестал в шутку и после приема амфетаминов (видимо, Сидегорд считает это смягчающим обстоятельством).

Exclusive: Necrophobic vocalist sentenced to prison for spousal/child abuse [Updated]
Posted by Metal Insider on September 4, 2013
Swedish death metal band Necrophobic released the first single from their forthcoming album, Womb of Lilithu, yesterday. But when the album comes out on October 29th (October 25th in the rest of the world), don’t expect vocalist Tobias Sidegard to be touring in support of it. That’s because the frontman is currently in prison, having been sentenced to 18 months for abusing his wife and children.
The bullwhip that Sidegard used to beat his children
In Swedish court documents and police reports obtained by Metal Insider, Sidegard’s wife Linda was interviewed by police describing incidents in which she was beaten by him multiple times and forced into oral sex with him. He also was charged with abuse for beating his daughters Tindra and Nova with a homemade bullwhip. There are other allegations against Sidegard in the court documents. Tindra claimed that when she was younger, her father would lock her and her mother in their room during the day while he slept.
For his part, Tobias claimed that he was on amphetamines when he hit his children with the bullwhip, claiming that he was only joking, and that he would never harm his children. The reports paint a different picture for his wife, with a cell phone photo of her with a swollen eye among the evidence presented to the court. He was also accused of stepping on her feet with full force, causing fractures, pain and swelling. In interviews with his previous wife, Anna, she said that in ten years of marriage, he was verbally abusive and was domineering, but he never hit her. After being confronted with the allegations of him beating his children, he threatened suicide.
Sidegard was found guilty in June, and sentenced to one year and six months in prison, convicted of “severe abuse to a female partner” and “abuse.” His bullwhip was also confiscated. There’s no word on how this will effect promotion for Womb Of Lilithu, which is still scheduled to come out on October 25th. Season of Mist’s French office hadn’t responded at the time of this publishing. We’ll continue to update you as this develops.

[Тобиас заявляет, что на фотографии - не подбитый глаз, а всего лишь распухший от инфекции. В обсуждениях новости в интернете всплыла информация, что в доступных в сети материалах дела (само собой, на шведском) сообщается, что швед любил тереть свой половой член о глаз жены. - Ред.]

NECROPHOBIC’S TOBIAS SIDEGARD FOUND GUILTY OF ABUSE; SENTENCE REDUCED
Posted by Bram Teitelman on Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 1:16 pm
[...]
The sentence was h
anded down earlier today, and Sidegard has still been found guilty, but he’ll only be doing six months, as opposed to the 18 that he’d been originally sentenced to.
Sidegard was found guilty of two charges of “abuse.” He was originally accused of “severe abuse to a female partner.” The court found that testimony from his ex-wife Linda was not found altogether trustworthy, in that she hadn’t been totally forthcoming about her own drug use. That seems to have played a part in the reduced sentence. The court still had full trust in the testimony the children gave, however. As part of the term, he has to pay Linda 16,000 kronor plus interest, which works out to around $2,500. It’s not known whether time already served will shorten his sentence.
Остальная группа с самого начала поспешила откреститься от вокалиста - видимо, боясь за "моральную репутацию". После окончательного приговора было объявлено, что Сидегорд уволен из группы - в которой ему, конечно, и так уже было нечего делать.
Due to current allegations regarding Tobias, we want to point out that we cannot comment on an ongoing legal process in Sweden. NECROPHOBIC however does not condone domestic violence.
This will be our only statement until legal matters have been resolved.
14 октября
NECROPHOBIC CONTINUE WITHOUT TOBIAS SIDEGÅRD.
Tobias is no longer a member of NECROPHOBIC. The verdict following his trial regrettably left us, the band, with no other choice. As stated before, NECROPHOBIC do not accept or tolerate domestic violence in any way.
We will now search for a replacement.
