The prosecutor decided to detain a person in absentia on Sunday. Later that day, the person was arrested and is now being held on reasonable suspicion, the lower level of suspicion.

"The investigation is at a very intense and sensitive stage and therefore no further comments can be made at this time," the Prosecution Authority wrote in a press release.

The suspected aggravated rape of a child occurred outdoors in Järfälla municipality, northwest of Stockholm, on Thursday morning last week. In connection with the incident, the municipality urged guardians of children at primary schools to accompany them to and from school.

The prosecutor must decide by September 16 whether to request detention of the person.
