Two women are being prosecuted, suspected of aggravated rape of a woman in Rissne north of Stockholm earlier this year, reports Expressen. The women, both in their 20s, are also being prosecuted for unlawful threats. According to the prosecutor's description of the crime, the women repeatedly threatened the victim with death.

It was in May that the police were alerted to an address in Rissne and arrested seven people suspected of rape. Five of them, all men, were later released. However, the fact that they were present at the scene put the plaintiff in an even more vulnerable position, according to the prosecutor.

Both women deny the crime.
