It was to get order in the classroom that the suspected teacher, between December last year and February, is alleged to have taped the mouths of several students. Some were also given as punishment a post-it note with the number 0 placed on the forehead.

The charges concern nine children aged 6–7 years.

The material we have obtained I consider to be consistent stories about what happened in school, it is their information that forms the basis for the charges, says prosecutor Louise Enocksson Witting to P4.

The teacher, who was suspended and later dismissed, denies the crime.
