Since Tuesday, the man has been arrested on suspicion of crime.
During Friday's arrest hearing at Varberg District Court, he was arrested on probable cause on suspicion of raping a child.
Prosecutor Ann-Christin Claesson is silent about the case.
- I can not comment on the crime itself or which parties are involved, with regard to the child, she says.
It is unclear how the suspect reacts to the suspicion.
The man has previously been convicted of other crimes.
