Lowered sentences in rape caseThe three boys who were sentenced by the district court to ten months in juvenile detention for raping a 13-year old girl got their sentences lowered to six months by the court of appeal. The girl was threatened and forced to have oral sex with all three boys. Since the girl is under 15, which is the age of consent in Sweden, it is ruled as rape of a child. According to the girl the boys also urinated on her. Both courts believe in the girl’s story, and the district court wanted the longer sentence since all three boys had been in on the rape, and because of their ruthless behavior (urinating on her). However, the court of appeal does not feel that it has been proved that they did urinate on the girl, and they didn’t use any violence that lead to physical injuries either. These factors, plus the fact that the boys were at almost the same age as the girl is what makes the court of appeal feel that the crime committed isn’t as severe as the district court found it to be. The damage payment to the poor girl is also lowered, from 180 000 Swedish Crowns to 120 000. |
Sänkt straff för våldtäktGÖTEBORG Hovrätten sänker straffet för tre pojkar som i tingsrätten dömdes för grov våldtäkt mot en 13-årig flicka. Hon tvingades genom hot och våld till oralsex med de tre. Enligt flickan ska de dessutom ha urinerat på henne. Eftersom hon är under 15 år rör det sig om våldtäkt mot barn. Båda instanserna tror på flickan. Tingsrätten fann brottet grovt eftersom hon utsatts av tre samt att de agerat hänsynslöst när de urinerat på henne. Hovrätten tycker dock inte att det är bevisat att pojkarna urinerat på flickan. Något våld som lett till fysiska skador har heller inte använts. Dessa faktorer samt att gärningsmännen var i flickans ålder gör att hovrätten inte bedömer brottet som grovt, skriver Metro. Straffen sänks från tio månaders sluten ungdomsvård till sex. Skadeståndet sänks från 180 000 till 120 000 kronor.

Sweden: Lowered sentences for boys who raped 13-year old
Jun 25 2007
Midsummer in Sweden – drunkenness, fights, rape, accidents and death…
Midsummer’s Eve was according to the police “no worse than an ordinary Saturday†– at least here in the Gothenburg area. The heavy rain is most likely the reason why there was very little trouble to be found. A handful of people were taken into custody due to assault, but other than that it has been a very peaceful Midsummer.
Along the west coast about 50 people were taken into custody for drunkenness, a few drunken minors were taken care of as well and one person was arrested for drunk driving. Still, this is what would be expected on an average weekend, according to the police.
Out in Frölunda, one man was arrested suspected of assault at a camping. According to the police, there were two men in their 30’s that had been assaulting a bunch of teenagers at the camping. One teenager was taken to the hospital.
After the heavy rain tapered off around 9 pm at night, trouble hit the streets again…
At a camping south of Halmstad (south of Sweden) there were fifteen people who fought with knives and brass knuckles.
At least ten cars were stopped due to drunk driving at another camping west of Halmstad.
In Lysekil up the west coast the police had confiscated a large amount of beer from minors, and poured it out on the site.
On Gotland, two young men had fallen off the same cliff, south of Visby, but they had no connection to each other. One of the men was only injured, the other one died from the fall. The injured man was rescued, the rescue operation took an hour. How the rescue crew could miss spotting the other man is unknown – he was found dead on Saturday only 40 meters away from where the injured man had been. However, the rescue took place in the middle of the night, and it is unknown when the other man fell down the cliff.
One man died after a motorboat crashed into a sail boat in the Stockholm archipelago.
Another man drowned in a harbor outside Söderhamn.
In Östergötland, one man was reported missing after a boat ride on the lake Glan. He was found dead on Saturday.
In Örebro, one man was arrested after a rape in an apartment.
A teenage girl was raped at a camping at Borgholm on Öland.
In Norrköping, a man had been seriously injured after being stabbed with a knife in his head, chest and abdomen. He was rushed to surgery.
There has also been a number of traffic accidents…
In Halmstad a car was driving on a bicycle/walkway (!), and the car crashed, leaving one man dead and another injured.
In Falun a 16-year old girl died, and two men were injured. The three of them (!) were on a four wheel motorcycle, and collided with a tractor.
In Vällingby a car slammed into three light posts, then crashed into a big rock, flipped over and caught fire. The three men in the car managed to get out alive, but two of them were injured. Apparently the car was going “a bit too fast†at the time of the accident.
In Jämtland there were three car accidents involving drunk drivers, none of them were serious, the people involved weren’t injured, but they will be charged with drunk driving.

Escape In Sweden – Sex Slave Runs To Polis While Captor Sleeps
Swedish Sex slave raped and beaten for over a week in Växjö
![]() |
The polis have a 25 year old man in custody for the charges of abduction, rape, and assault. A woman in Småland, southern province of Sweden, visited a 25 year old man at his house of her own choice but was not allowed to leave the house when she wanted to do so. Instead the woman reported to police that she was raped & beaten for over a week. She escaped from the man when she had found an opportunity while he slept.
The polis have the man in custody while they investigate. The man has stated that the woman was with him voluntarily and that he is not guilty of any crime. The polis will weigh the merits of the womans charges and see if the man will in fact be arrested.
Here in Sweden you are held by the polis during an initial investigation and if they are found to be sufficient you are then arrested. Currently the man is in custody by the polis in Växjo which is a city in Småland which is a province in southern Sweden with a population of more then 700,000 and broken into three counties, Jönköping County, Kalmar County and Kronoberg County .

Swedish Prostitution/Trafficking Court Case
Two of the pimps involved in the big court case here in Gothenburg have now confessed to their crimes. One man and one woman are now confessing to the charges against them.
20 men are being charged with having bought sex from Russian prostitutes.
We have a friend who lives in the Netherlands, where prostitution is LEGAL, and the other day when I was talking to her in instant messages, she said she was going to watch Oprah. She said that she didn’t really like the constant commercial breaks, though – I said well who does – and she then told me that at night time (one would hope way after all Dutch children have gone to bed!) the commercials on TV are mostly about sex, call girls, clubs, you name it! That’s one of the downsides with living in a country that has made prostitution legal, I suppose…
(Prostitution in the Netherlands has been legal since January 1988, when it was defined as a legal profession. However, prostitutes must be at least 18, while for non-commercial sex the age of consent is 16. Clients must be at least 16. Violation of either age limit is a crime for the other party, and possibly for a pimp.
The legalized status allows prostitutes to have access to the social security system, since 1996 sex workers have paid income tax, and reforms in 1999 gave prostitution the same status as any other form of labor. Prostitutes form unions, and are otherwise treated like any other self-employed trades person. Advertising their services is likewise tolerated.
Health and social services are readily available, but the women are not required to undergo regular health checks. A recent study found that despite health rules, about 7 percent of Dutch prostitutes have HIV/AIDS. )

Swedish Nanny murderer admits to killing
The man suspected of murdering 20-year-old Croatian au pair Jelena Ivanisevic in Gothenburg last week has confessed to the lesser charge of manslaughter.The man, 24, was been remanded in custody on Friday by Gothenburg District Court. He was arrested on Tuesday, following the discovery of Ivanisevic’s body last Thursday night.
Police are releasing few details of their investigation. It is known that the man attended the same course as Ivanisevic at Gothenburg University, but there the motive for the killing remains unclear. Police have also confirmed that the man is not a Swedish citizen.
“We have looked into his background and have a fairly good idea of who he is, what he was doing in Sweden and his relationship to the woman,” said police spokesman Thomas Fuxborg.
“I cannot say more at present,” he added.
It is not clear how long the man had been in Sweden, but police are certain that he has been in the country for at least a year. He was a suspect in a rape investigation last year, although he was released after a remand hearing. The rape investigation remains open.
Thomas Fuxborg said that the rape investigation had so far not figured in the current murder probe.
“But once he’s remanded we may look at that too,” he said.
Ivanisevic was found in the house belonging to the family for whom she worked as an au pair. She had lived there since moving to Sweden from Croatia. The family was on vacation at the time her body was found.
Police went to the house after Ivanisevic’s friends expressed concern that she had not been in touch for a few days. Police now believe that she was killed on Easter Sunday, several days before her body was discovered. Police have confirmed that she was murdered.
An autopsy confirmed that the woman had been murdered, but police would not reveal what they found in the house or how she had been killed.

Swedish Nanny Murder Suspect From Same Class in School
Murder suspect studied together with the victim
The 24-yearold man studied at the same school as the murdered Croatian girl Jelena Ivanisevic. From August to December last year he was one of the 40 students in the same class as the murdered girl, but then he dropped out.
The two knew each other and met on several occasions together with other friends.
Through mutual acquaintances it is possible that the 24-year old found out that Jelena was going to be alone in the house over Easter.
The police are still hesitating to give out any more details about the circumstances around Jelena’s death.
