According to the prosecution, the duo must have received a total of SEK 232,552, which was deposited into the 23-year-old's bank account. In addition, one of the men was forced to buy a tenancy for SEK 200,000 to the accused, located in a small town in Värmland.

- They got in touch with the men on chat forums with sexual content. Then images have been sent back and forth, says prosecutor Karin Evlinger.

After having sex chat and coming across pictures, the couple then found out where the men lived and where they worked. Then they threatened to "hang out the plaintiff and disseminate harassing information about him," as the prosecutor writes in the prosecution.

Both the 18-year-old woman and the 23-year-old man deny the crime.
