The man is the father of three children who were in foster care for several years, but were reunited with their parents in August 2023. Some time later, the man was arrested on suspicion of sexual offenses against children. The three children were placed back in foster care.
The man is now being charged with aggravated child pornography and assault, among other things.
"Then it was discovered that some of the films and pictures were of a girl under his custody. Therefore, he is also charged with gross exploitation of children for sexual posing and also the production of child pornography," prosecutor Jonas Fjellström told Piteå-Tidningen .
The man denies the crime.
The Älvsbyn municipality's decision to reunite the children with their parents has been heavily criticized. At least two municipal politicians are suspected of misconduct, several media outlets have previously reported.
