Unusual investigation into child rape in Skåne continues

Early in March, a woman was arrested in Skåne on suspicion of multiple rapes and sexual assaults against a child under the age of 15. The prosecutor has requested an extension of the suspect's pre-trial detention. The investigation continues, prosecutor Marie-Louise Holmberg tells TV4 Nyheterna.

Among other things, interrogations and the examination of telephone material are ongoing.

The suspected crimes are said to have occurred in Skåne County in 2023. The same year, an investigation into sexual crimes against children was opened and later closed. In 2024, it was reopened after a new report was received, and after almost three years of investigation, a woman was arrested.

The woman, who is in her 30s, was arrested on March 6, Norra Skåne reported. She denies the crime.

The prosecutor says the suspected perpetrator stands out, as women are underrepresented in cases like this.

"Of course it's unusual," Holmberg tells TV4.
