The 60-year-old man entered his tenant’s room, smelled his underwear, put on his clothes and then filmed him masturbating.
Now the 60-year-old is sentenced for breach of domestic peace – but acquitted of sexual harassment, reports Kristianstadsbladet.
The incident was revealed when the man left his recording phone in the room, and it was then found by the Italian exchange student who rented the room.
The student reported the landlord to the police and attached a recording as evidence. But despite the filming, the man is acquitted of sexual harassment, but he is convicted of breach of domestic peace. According to the court, “the act neither included physical contact nor any action that can be equated with physical contact”, the district court writes in the judgment.
It is also not proven that the 60-year-old “had the intention to molest the plaintiff, who was not in the room”.
