A doctor at a beauty clinic in Gothenburg is now charged with several cases of sexual harassment against his clients.
One of the victims is a girl born in 2005 who applied to the clinic to remove birthmarks.
During a consultation, the doctor is said to have massaged her breasts, unbuttoned her trousers and kissed her.
- What is special is that it is a doctor who has done this in the performance of his duties.
It is unusual and an aggravating circumstance that can increase the penalty value because you are in a form of dependency as a patient and have a harder time reconciling and saying no, says prosecutor Ximena Bene.
Convicted of a similar crime before
Four women reported the doctor for sexual harassment last year, all crimes must have taken place at the man's clinic in connection with treatments or examinations.
The man has previously been convicted of sexual harassment by a 17-year-old girl who was to do a trial job at his clinic in another city.
- What you have in your criminal record can affect what kind of sanction you get, says Ximena Bene.
The man denies the crime.
