In Flen, Sweden, new allegations of sexual abuse have emerged against a preschool employee, who is currently in custody on suspicion of aggravated child rape.

The accusations involve the same preschool where the man worked, with approximately five reports filed, according to police.

The local authorities are taking the situation seriously, with the municipality reviewing procedures to prevent future incidents.

Measures include reassessing solo work policies and enhancing staff training to recognize warning signs.

Despite following existing guidelines, the municipality acknowledges shortcomings in their system.

The suspect, who denies the charges, was arrested after a report by the victim's parents.

The community is now considering requiring updated criminal record checks for preschool staff after extended leaves.
