According to the indictment, the whole thing was discovered when the woman told her boss about the rapes last autumn.

The man has always denied the crime and has claimed that everything has happened in agreement between him and the woman.

He has had heavy political assignments in his municipality, but what happens to them now is unclear.

Convicted of two rapes - charged with seven

In the indictment, the woman stated that she had been raped by the man for several years, but the prosecutor chose to prosecute him for seven cases.

Värmland District Court convicts him of two cases of rape against the woman and he must also pay damages to her of just over SEK 248,400.

The woman's plaintiff's assistant, Sofia Möller, tells SVT that they will now go through the verdict together and before that they will not make a statement.
