Prosecutor Lena Kastlund said during her final plea that Eskil Erlandsson should be sentenced to daily fines, which "should be set high", for a total of three cases of sexual abuse against three female politicians.

Before that, the municipal politician had told about the event at the party meeting in 2017, where she suddenly felt how Eskil Erlandsson's little finger was rubbed against her thighs. As she tried to move aside, her hand lay still, and he began to caress her thighs.

- I felt reduced to one thing, to one object, she explained during the second and closing day of the trial.

Can not remember

Erlandsson himself says that he has no memory of the incident, although he does not deny that he may have sat next to the woman at some point during the meeting.

- I am horrified by these accusations, I am truly upset by them. I don't recognize myself, Erlandsson said.

He explained, as at Monday's first day of negotiation, how his illness - the so-called Viking sickness - may have led to him accidentally reaching the women.

"Not criminal"

Johan Eriksson said in his final plea that he considers that the prosecutor's evidence is thin, since it largely consists of the tasks of the plaintiffs. He also pointed to several question marks around details in both the center woman's and various witnesses' versions of the incident.

Although the court finds that Erlandsson moved the women in the way the prosecutor claims, the defense questions whether the conduct is criminalized. It is based, among other things, on a previous decision in the Supreme Court, where a man was freed from sexual harassment after taking a woman on his thigh.

However, Center Woman's Plaintiff's Assistant Annika Troive Hedman believes that several things separate cases. The HD case was about a brief grip on the thigh, which ended as soon as the goal owner responded.

- With my client it is a longer lasting touch, it is about caressing and teasing, and it has continued when my client - on two occasions - has reacted and tried to move away, says Troive Hedman to TT.

Stockholm District Court will give judgment on December 11.
