The whole thing was revealed last year when the girl told her mother about the abuse that had been going on for several years. She told me that the man, who was born in the mid-70s, had first started to touch her and then forced her into oral sex and raped her. When the abuse began, the girl was just over ten years old.

Eksjö District Court now condemns the man to a long prison sentence, 13 years. He is convicted of gross sexual abuse of children, gross rape of children and unlawful threats and ill-treatment.
