On Saturday, the suspected sexual abuse was reported at a preschool in Kristianstad. The child had told his parents about an incident that caused them to react and the incident was reported to police.

Released on Tuesday

A man employed as a substitute at the preschool was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of gross sexual exploitation of children. On Tuesday, he was released.

- He has not been asked to be arrested, but the suspicions against the designated person remain. There is no great risk of him committing new crimes or influencing the investigation that there are grounds for detention, says Lise-Lotte Norström, Deputy Chief Prosecutor.

The parents of the children at the preschool were informed on Monday and the suspected man is suspended from the preschool.

"Check some information"

The police investigation continues.

- Now we only have to check certain information and after the Christmas and New Year holidays, I expect that decision whether or not to prosecute, says Lise-Lotte Norström.
