A church youth leader who admitted indecency offences against eight boys has been jailed for 18 months.

--
The court heard how he invited one boy to go running with him and afterwards at his house, massaged him and indecently touched him.
He invented a game where the boys would take turns sitting in a cold bath and timed them to see who could last the longest.
The youth leader would rub ice-cubes on their bodies or have them strip if they lost a game while at his house.
On one occasion when a boy was alone in the flat sitting in the bath, Elvik appeared in the bathroom naked, squirting water from a syringe. -
