In the interrogation, the girl said that the man had subjected her to sexual acts as long as she can remember.

The Varberg District Court sentenced the man to eleven years in prison. The Court of Appeal, which extended the sentence by another year, notes that the girl was subjected to abuse for over six years – half her life. The court also emphasizes that the perpetrator is a close relative and that the crimes were committed in places where she had the right to feel safe and secure.
