The 37-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday evening and is suspected on probable grounds of having raped a younger woman in Hörby municipality in Skåne. This is believed to have occurred on the evening-night of October 23-24, according to the detention application.
Prosecutor Anders Stridh cites several reasons why he believes the man should be detained, including the risk that "the suspect will continue his criminal activities".
The Nytorgs man was convicted in February 2022 by the Svea Court of Appeal. There, the district court's previous sentence of five years' imprisonment for, among other things, seven rapes, eight sexual assaults, and six cases of sexual harassment was upheld.
Despite the man misbehaving during his prison sentence and the risk of recidivism being assessed as high, he was conditionally released in March this year after serving two-thirds of his sentence.
The release has outraged private individuals, politicians, and former victims.
