In 2016 Mads Christian's father Allan Lyhne received a call by the Danish police that informed him that they intended to charge the then 16 year old singer with distribution of child pornography. The 17-year-old singer is accused of recording four pornographic videos with an underage girl and sharing them with multiple friends without the girl's permission. Mads Christian, who was 15 at the time, met the girl in February 2015 and suggested on a date that they record a video of a blowjob. The girl accepted it, as long as you couldn't see her face. [1]

On 7 March 2017 Mads Christian was acquitted of indecent exposure but was found guilty of Charge 1, which involved consent for the videos being recorded. He was found partially guilty of Charge 2, which concerned the three video sequences. He was found guilty of having forwarded two videos. This involved the video depicting oral sex and the video where he touches the girl inside her pants. The panel of judges unanimously found Mads Christian guilty of Charges 1 and 2. Mads Christian was sentenced to 14 days in prison with a probation period of one year. The sentence was conditional, meaning Mads Christian did not serve jail time on the condition he did not commit any new offenses during the probation period. [2]
