According to the indictment, the man, who lives in Gothenburg, has exposed a number of young girls to various sexual offenses on Snapchat. There, he must have contacted girls, who at the time were between 10 and 17 years old, and then tried to persuade them to undress, pose and perform sexual acts. Something many of them have done then.

- These are serious crimes with high penalties, but I cannot say exactly what punishment I am currently prosecuting, says Chamber Prosecutor Martin Elofsson.

Must have spread child porn on social media

The man is charged with 17 counts, and as many girls must have been subjected to various types of crime. Among other things, gross sexual abuse of children and gross exploitation of children for sexual posing. The man must also have spread child pornographic videos on both Snapchat and Instagram.

Has he had any relationship with the girls before?

- No, not what we have been able to see in the investigation, says Martin Elofsson.

The trial will start in Gothenburg District Court on February 18 and is expected to last for seven days. The accused man denies the crime.
