The man and the then seven-year-old boy met on a bus stop outside Landskrona when the boy was on his way home from school one day in April 2017.

They started talking to each other and when the bus arrived at Landskrona, the man managed to take the boy with him home.

There he must have shown porn material to the boy and forced himself on him.

Told his mother

The boy's mother, who was told that her son had followed a friend's home, testified that the boy was very upset and scared when he returned home an hour later. The seven-year-old immediately told him what he had been exposed to.

The district court in Lund ruled that the boy's testimony was credible and sentenced the man to six months in prison for sexual abuse of children earlier this year.

The High Court makes the same assessment of the boy's credibility but tightens the sentence to prison for eight months. The sentence was sharpened in view of the victim's low age and the fact that it was a relatively lengthy process, and that the offense involved several sexual offenses.

The convicted person, who has constantly denied all charges, will also pay 40,000 in damages to the boy.
