The man has previously been convicted of rape and has served a prison sentence - twice.

Just a few months after he was last released, he committed similar crimes again.

The man is now convicted of four cases of rape, three of which are against the same woman, with whom he then had a relationship.

The woman must at times have slept or felt compelled to have intercourse and been afraid to say no.

The man is also convicted of persecution as he has supervised one of the women at her work.

Among other things, he threatened to break the windows of the patient she worked for if the woman was not ready within an hour.

The man has also threatened a third woman, a former girlfriend, with killing her.

Always denied crime

The man is also convicted of vandalism after breaking the women's telephones and a toilet door belonging to Sölvesborgshem.

The convicted man must pay damages for this and other personal injuries, totaling more than SEK 200,000.

The man has denied any involvement in the allegations, except for damage to the door and telephones, which he admits.

He is now sentenced in Blekinge District Court to four years and four months in prison.
