In May this year, about 160 former students received a letter from the police stating that they were victims. A large majority of those who were called for questioning have participated in the investigation, even though many of the crimes have been subject to statute of limitations.
"The police have reviewed over a million files consisting of films, photographs, and collages. Since last autumn, investigators have examined the extensive material that made it possible to identify the victims," says senior prosecutor Åsa Valter, who has been the preliminary investigation leader, in a press release.
"The thorough work, together with the fact that so many victims have participated, has enabled me to bring charges today," she continues.
The suspected abuses took place between 2009 and 2013.
The man has previously worked at various schools in the Stockholm area and in May 2024, he was convicted of, among other things, offensive photography, serious child pornography offenses, and sexual harassment when he photographed and filmed students in dressing rooms and on field trips. For this, he was sentenced to three and a half years in prison, a sentence he is still serving.
In the spring of 2024, work began to investigate more incidents further back in time, this time at two schools in Haninge, for which the man is now being prosecuted.
