The investigation began when a parent raised the alarm after discovering that her daughter had been chatting with an unknown person on Snapchat. The clues led to the 50-year-old man, who according to prosecutor Tomas Engman, is said to have posed as a younger man. In total, the police have identified ten girls between the ages of seven and 14 who are said to have been victimized by the man.
During the search, around 100 child pornography images were found, as well as more unidentified victims. The man is charged with several counts of exploiting children for sexual posing, child pornography offenses, and offensive photography. The crimes are said to have occurred between 2020 and 2023.
The court announces that the man will not return to his post.
