The court in its observation said that after being abused, the women suffered from depression and self destruction. The court also convicted Eeronen for an exaggeration and attempt to murder.
Another official of the model company Alex Hallikainen was also sentenced to 4 years in jail and the appeal court upheld the district court’s judgment.
The Appeal court, however, reduced the imprisonment of Eeronen’s girlfriend Olga Arkhipovas to two years and two months from the previous imprisonment of two years and seven months awarded by the district court.
