🇸🇪An Eritrean care worker has been convicted for raping 82-year-old Swedish woman, but the court ruled against deportation.
The court argued the African is "integrated" in Sweden and the rape was "brief" and "without threats or blows."
On the night of Nov. 3, 2025, the victim's son contacted the police after his mother was raped. Police recovered the African's semen from the woman's bed sheet.
In subsequent interrogations, the woman recalled the abuse, describing it as painful and unpleasant.
The man denied any wrongdoing, but during police questioning, he initially claimed he left the sperm stain during a previous work visit while having phone sex with his girlfriend.
He later admitted the girlfriend story was made up but maintaining that he had secretly masturbated during a previous service visit, and ejaculated on the woman's bed.
The district court rejected his explanation and established that he raped the woman.
During sentencing, the court considered a number of alleged mitigating factors, describing the rape as "brief and one that occurred without threats or blows."
Samnytt news outlet revealed that the care company hired the Eritrean man despite multiple entries in his criminal record, including theft and petty theft, as well as serious convictions connected to Stockholm's gang environment for drug offenses.
The prosecution had requested that the man, an Eritrean national, be deported for life.
However, the court refused to deport him. It argued that he arrived in Sweden as a child, lived in Sweden for almost 20 years, spoke fluent Swedish, and had maintained employment in recent years.
The district court noted the rape was a serious crime and also noted his previous convictions, stating that ”there is a clear risk of continued crime."
