The woman and the man knew each other from before. She needed somewhere to sleep and heard about it on social media. The man answered and offered a place to sleep.
Once she fell asleep in the man’s apartment, she woke up to find him crawling down next to her and starting to prey on her. In questioning, the woman says that she “became stiff and did not dare to move, let alone say anything”, writes VF.
The man in turn says that he was not awake and that he perceived it as a dream.
“It is something that the prosecutor’s side has assessed as not likely,” says chamber prosecutor Helena Pihlqvist to VF.
The trial begins on Monday in the Värmland district court.
