A man in his 40s is being prosecuted for several aggravated rapes and sexual assaults against a young girl in Laholm Municipality, reports Hallandsposten.

The man has, among other things, assaulted the girl when he was babysitting her and her siblings. He has previously admitted to parts of the events, but denies the crime.

A man in his 60s is being held in custody for raping the same girl. According to Hallandsposten, this refers to separate incidents.

In connection with the younger man's arrest, searches were conducted and some technical devices were seized. These have been emptied, and it has been revealed that there are a large number of chats related to contacts between the older man and the victim, prosecutor Ellinor Nilsson has previously said to the newspaper.

Corrected: In an earlier version, it was not clear that one of the men was being prosecuted.
