Steen Christensen

Steen Viktor Christensen (born 1964) is a Danish criminal, who was sentenced in Denmark in 1992 to twelve years in prison for numerous bank robberies, hostage taking, and rape.

He was also sentenced to pay the families of the police officers he killed, the state treasury, and the watchman at the Hotel Palace a total of almost 275,000 Finnish mark (about 46,300 euro) and to pay a life support of 3873 Finnish mark (about 651.40 euro) per month to one underaged child.

Reporter Matts Dumell interviewed Christensen in the Hämeenlinna prison four days before he was transferred to Denmark.

The Herstedvester prison, which houses some of Denmark's most dangerous criminals, has special arrangements specifically to prevent Christensen from escaping.

The Finnish rap musician Seppo Lampela originally chose Steen Christensen as his artist name, but changed it to Steen1 after getting his first record deal, because of too much controversy.
