Just saw this article on Sydsvenskans homepage and am now particularly annoyed. Firstly, this 62 year old man is convicted for 11 cases of rape plus sexual assault of girls between 11 and 16 and sentenced to 7 years which is an obscenely short sentence for the crime.
However, to make things worse the high court then decided that it was actually a smaller number of rapes... only 2 cases of rape and 6 of raping a child. Therefore the sentence was reduced to five years. 5 years! For 8 cases of rape! I like a lot about Sweden. Leniency when it comes to raping of minors is not one of them!
