Swedish Man Accused of Abuse

Published: 2024-12-06

A Swedish man in his 50s is facing serious allegations of sexual abuse and attempted rape against five teenage girls at a care home in Norway.

One of the victims, a 14-year-old girl named Madelen, tragically took her own life after the alleged incidents.

Despite these charges, the man has secured a new job at a care facility in Sweden, working with adults with disabilities.

The Swedish municipality employing him claims to be unaware of the charges, while the man maintains his innocence.

The trial is set to begin in Norway in March 2025, drawing significant attention to the case and the processes surrounding employment in care facilities.
