According to sundsvalls district court's ruling, the whole thing allegedly took place in August last year in a locality in western Medelpad. Both parties state that it was voluntary, and the court notes that neither of them has been more proactive than the other.
The 15-year-old claims he did not know the girl's age, that he intended to ask her but did not and that he had instead been told by another person – though unclear who – that she had reached the age of 15.
Lack of intent
He denies any wrongdoing and believes he lacked intent, nor does he admit that he would have been negligent in that regard. However, the girl's sister has stated that she told the 15-year-old how old the girl was.
Overall, the court argues that the 15-year-old should have been aware of or acquired knowledge of the girl's young age. According to the district court, this suggests that "(NN) recognized the risk that Privacy MA was younger than 15 years of age and was indifferent to that risk. He has thus been deliberately negligent."
The court therefore sentences him to 150 hours of community service for child rape.
