A 25-year-old man in Skaraborg is sentenced to nearly two years in prison for sexual offenses against a total of 13 girls, reports P4 Skaraborg. Some of the offenses are considered aggravated.

The man made contact with his victims on the Snapchat platform.

He offered thousands of kronor in payment for the children to send nude or partially nude pictures to him. After receiving the pictures, he intensified his tone and threatened to spread the material further if the girls did not send more.

The district court relies on the technical evidence in its verdict. The man, who denies the crime, is also to pay damages totaling over 200,000 kronor.
