It was in early November that the man, who is in his 50s, was arrested on suspicion of raping a woman in a business premises in Östersund.

The man was recently indicted for the crime and the prosecutor believes the penalty value of the offense is two years and three months imprisonment. Before the trial resumes, the man must undergo a forensic psychiatric examination.

- If he is considered to have a serious mental disorder, he must not be sentenced to prison. Then he will receive mental health care, says prosecutor Jenny Örn.
