According to the indictment, the man must have exposed the child on at least ten occasions over a period of two years.

- The case came to the attention of the police when the child began to tell relatives, says chamber prosecutor Ann-Christin Claesson, who is otherwise silent about the case.

In addition to the charge of aggravated rape of a child, he is also charged with having subjected two other children, also at the age of ten, to sexual harassment.

The events are said to have taken place in Falkenberg and the man was arrested at the end of April and detained since the beginning of May.
