The teacher in Västmanland was sentenced to five years in prison for, among other things, raping a five-year-old child in district court.
The convicted teacher appealed the district court's ruling and demanded that the Svea Court of Appeal acquit him of responsibility for rape of a child.
However, the Court of Appeal, like the district court, considers that the man is guilty, but reduces the prison sentence to four years when, like the district court chairman, it is considered that the total penalty value of the crime is lower than five years' imprisonment.
The man is also convicted of abusive photography and a serious child pornography offense.
