After a man was outed on an online site as a pedophile, he was urged to kill himself. Now a woman in Kalmar is charged with inciting suicide, reports P4 Kalmar.

The woman denies any wrongdoing. In questioning, she has said that with her call she only meant that the man would “finish the pedophile in him”. She is also charged with defamation, because she is said to have spread the name and pictures of the man via comment fields online.

The man has previously been convicted of sexual offenses against children.
