It was in February this year that the man was sentenced in Kristianstad District Court to 17 years in prison for aggravated rape, human trafficking and aggravated assault on a woman. The crimes took place both in the man’s home in Kristianstad, but also in Berlin where he sold the woman as a prostitute to other men.
– The Court of Appeal takes the crimes for which the man is convicted seriously, but the penalty value is lower than what the district court has concluded, says Court of Appeal Councilor Katarina Persson in a press release.
She adds:
– For comparison, it can be mentioned that the Supreme Court sentenced twelve years’ imprisonment in a case which, among other things, concerned about 100 cases of aggravated rape of children committed during almost five years.
The man must pay damages to the plaintiffs with SEK 575,000. He must be detained until the prison sentence is served.
