A youth center in Örebro is under intense scrutiny following allegations of a serious sexual offense against a child by an employee.

The incident, which occurred in late July, has sparked outrage among local parents, leading to demands for the center's temporary closure.

Investigations revealed that seven out of 31 staff members have criminal records, including the suspect who allegedly worked under a false identity.

The Örebro municipality has launched an external investigation to address the growing concerns.

Parents, feeling unsupported by local authorities, have formed a crisis group to provide legal aid and support to affected families.

The situation highlights significant lapses in background checks for employees working with children, prompting calls for legislative changes to ensure better protection for minors.
