Uppsala's elderly care system is under scrutiny following reports of sexual assaults within its services.

An 84-year-old woman was raped by a home care worker, despite her previous warnings about him.

The municipality held a press conference revealing ongoing police investigations into two rape cases and a sexual harassment incident involving staff.

Lenita Granlund, director of care and welfare, emphasized the need to ensure safety for all users and staff.

The municipality plans to enhance recruitment processes and background checks.

A Lex Sarah report and an Ivo notification have been filed, highlighting serious misconduct.

The accused worker has been dismissed, but was released due to insufficient evidence.
