The suspected rape should have occurred during Saturday night in central Södertälje and according to police, several witnessed the incident.

- We have held 13 witness hearings, it says something about the extent of how many people have witnessed this. Otherwise, I do not go into details, says Johan Siverland, preliminary investigator at the Södertalje Police.

Detention negotiations tomorrow

On Monday, the prosecutor requested the suspected man arrested in the case. The detention negotiations will be held Tuesday morning.

"I think there are probable reasons for having committed a rape. We need to investigate this further," said Emma Olsson, prosecutor.

Imprisonment for rape is a minimum of two years in the sentence scale, and then it is called compulsory detention.

- The crime is so serious that one should be arrested if there are no specific reasons to speak against, says Emma Olsson.
