On October 9, the man was arrested.

His computer and mobile phone were seized, and he was later served on suspicion of probable cause of aggravated child rape, aggravated exploitation of children for sexual posing and aggravated child pornography.

On the first two counts, the suspected crime according to the arrest petition has been going on from the summer of 2018 until the man was arrested - which means that the suspected acts took place on repeated occasions.

Happened in the hometown

The suspected crime must have taken place in the man's place of residence.

The seizure of child pornography made by the man consists of both pictures and films.

To what extent is still unclear.

During the arrest proceedings in Sundsvall District Court, the man - who has previously been unpunished - partially admitted what he was accused of and admitted the arrest request, but does not consider that it is a case of aggravated rape.

Unpunished

Serious rape of children results in imprisonment for between four and ten years.

The preliminary investigation, which is led by chamber prosecutor Christina Edlund Nilsson, is surrounded by strict secrecy due to the sensitivity of the case, and with this in mind, the prosecutor currently only comments on what appears from the public part of the arrest report.

Youth leaders

For example, she does not want to comment on whether it is one or more victims of crime, whether they are close to the man or in what context or contexts the crimes must have been committed.

The man has held leadership roles in several associations in youth sports.

SVT has been in contact with the chairman of one of the associations who writes in a text message that there is nothing to indicate that the abuse that the man is accused of has taken place within the association's activities.

The detention period expires on Monday, but the prosecutor will request an extended investigation period.
