The member of parliament met the woman in a pub where he usually goes to drink beer with some friends. According to the preliminary investigation, the member of parliament claims that the woman began to show interest in him in the summer of 2022.
Had sex in the man's apartment
The suspected woman and member of parliament had contact during the autumn and in December the man invited the woman and another friend to his apartment. According to the preliminary investigation, the member of parliament and at least one of the women had sex and one woman then took a picture of the man. That image was then allegedly used to extort the man for money. The woman has, among other things, wanted to get money for a breast augmentation, new television and travel. If the member of parliament did not pay, the woman would leak the image to the media and ruin his career.
In early February, he finally went to the Security Police, which launched a preliminary investigation.
Paid rent
When questioned by police, the man says he paid a taxi for the two women after he had sex with them. He also gave the accused woman SEK 5,000 for the rent. The 25-year-old woman claims in questioning the police that it was a sex purchase and that she and the man had a financial settlement, something the man denies.
A preliminary investigation has now also been initiated against the man regarding suspected purchase of sexual services, something that Dagens Nyheter was the first to report.
The prosecutor cannot comment on the case, citing pretrial secrecy.
A private person with whom SVT has been in contact has made a report of a violation of the Sex Purchase Act.
– We should be equal before the law and this is an obvious violation of the sex purchase law that needs to be investigated, the reporter tells SVT.
SVT has sought the Riksdag man and the suspected woman for comment
