Pernilla and Emilio’s relationship was marred by arguments, and in 2002 Pernilla reported him for assault – a report she retracted. In 2005, she reported Emilio once more.
In the trial, Pernilla told about how Emilio came to her house and abused her in front of the children, something like The evening paper then reported on.
– Everyone shouted and wanted to make him stop. In the commotion he suddenly left. I was very upset and everything was unpleasant. I felt that “now it’s enough”, Pernilla told during the trial.
In 2006, Emilio was charged with assault, unlawful threats and assault in a lawsuit. Emilio was convicted of the latter two crimes, but has never been convicted of assault.
Almost 20 years have passed since Emilio was sentenced, and a lot of water has flown under the bridges. Today – 22 years after the divorce – Pernilla and Emilio’s relationship naturally looks completely different.
