The man, who is in his 30s, was arrested already on April 10, suspected of gross sexual assault against an elderly woman. Since then, three more plaintiffs and new crime suspicions have been added.

On Wednesday, the man was arrested again.

Magnus Börlin, operations manager for Umeå Municipality's home care, says to SVT:

We take seriously what has happened and have taken measures according to the routines that exist.

What measures these are, Börlin cannot say, as the case is confidential. The man denies both sexual assault and rape, says his lawyer to SVT.
