Misses in the investigation led to the women being found faster

The man suspected of raping seven women hid his face behind a piece of paper when the first trial began. He then sat quietly listening to Moa Blomqvist's review of the crimes he was charged with.

During the case, it became clear that the investigation should have actually taken longer than it did. The phone the police seized when the man was first arrested received an expedited technical investigation, despite the man being released.

- When the suspect is no longer deprived of custody, the investigation has not taken precedence, so it would have actually been put aside and put there for a couple of months. In any way, the technicians were not reached by that information if they went through the phone, says Moa Blomqvist.

On the phone were discovered the pictures and films that the man later admitted that he took sneakily. According to the indictment, some of them must show that he raped women while they slept, which he denies.

The finding led to the man being remanded, then suspected of four rapes.

- We had gone through the phone in the end, but now it went much faster than it would and it was very good for the investigation, says Moa Blomqvist.

During the open part of the trial, the man's lawyer, Hanna Lindblom, told him that he had helped the police with information.

"The investigators were stuck, then he gave the names of women he believed were in the pictures - in his full conviction that he has not raped anyone," she says.

The rest of the trial, when the women are to be heard and pictures are to be shown, are closed behind closed doors.
