The man was found guilty of having sent money to a family in the Philippines in exchange for organising sex acts between children, some of whom were under the age of 14. The scenes were filmed live on Skype.
He "knew that the underage victims and their families were poor, and as such dependent on the money he paid for these sex acts," a court in the western town of Bergen found, Norwegian public broadcaster NRK reported.
The man partially confessed to the crimes.
The prosecution, which claimed there were a total of 20 victims in the Philippines and 42 in Norway, had called for a prison sentence of eight years, which the court handed down.
