In May, the district court sentenced the man to 14 years in prison for committing hundreds of rapes and aggravated abuse of a child. The crimes began when the boy was 10 years old and lasted for three years. The sentence was then 14 years in prison and deportation.
But after the man appealed, the Court of Appeals reduced the sentence to 12 years in prison and broke the man’s deportation.
The prosecutor then chose appeal the sentence of the Court of Appeal, to allow the deportation of the man. The prosecutor justified his appeal with the fact that the crimes committed by the man would be so inviolable that they go beyond the connection of the man – who lived in Sweden for 22 years and has a family in the country – with Swedish society.
– We need a precedent. In this case, I mean that crimes have a very high penalty value. So it should be a regular expulsion, regardless of whether you’ve been here for 22 years. That’s what I want to have tried, said Katarina Johansson Welin, DN’s deputy prosecutor in August.
Now the Supreme Court has announced that it is denying authorization to appeal in the case. This means that the Court of Appeal sentence of 12 years in prison is upheld and that the man will not be deported.
