The man is said to have had an affair with a 14-year-old girl and is said to have had intercourse with her three times while she was sleeping, which Gällivare District Court considers to be child rape.

Convicted of a total of ten acts

The 30-year-old man is convicted of the following acts:

  • Three child rapes

  • Three sexual exploitation of children

  • Two cases of assault

  • Two illegal threats

  • An assault in court

Milder punishment than the prosecutor's wish

The prosecutor demanded four years in prison, but Gällivare District Court sentences the man to three years and one month.

The punishment is reduced when the man has a disability.

"There are reasons to believe that his actions were related to his lack of development.

However, the penalty value is still so high that a sanction other than imprisonment is excluded ", the district court writes in the judgment.
