It was at the end of September that the man was convicted of child rape. Blekinge District Court found that the crimes took place between the summer of 2018 until he was arrested in early July this year.

The girl became pregnant and a forensic examination showed that the now convicted man was the father. The man has admitted to having a relationship but claimed he did not understand that the girl was under 15 and denied the crime.

But Blekinge district court did not believe in the man's version and sentenced him to three cases of rape against children to three years in prison and SEK 235,000 in damages to the girl. In addition to the prison sentence, the man is to be sentenced to ten years.

The judgment was appealed, but has now been upheld by the High Court without modification.
