Gjert Ingebrigtsen has been acquitted of multiple charges of abuse against three of his children who he coached to Olympic careers. Three of his sons, including two-time gold medalist Jacob Ingebrigtsen, accused their father of physical and emotional abuse. Ingebrigtsen was convicted of one minor charge for hitting his daughter in the face with a towel. Norwegian journalist Jan Peter Saltvedt spoke with The World's Host Carolyn Beeler about the case.
