In the previous judgment of the Uddevalla District Court, the boy was acquitted on the grounds that there were some ambiguities in the girl’s story, despite the court also ruling that the 17-year-old had lied in court and that it was “possible and not unlikely” that the girl had been raped.
The Court of Appeal makes a different assessment and convicts him of raping a child. The girl’s story is so credible that it is beyond reasonable doubt that the 17-year-old is guilty, despite a lack of technical evidence and direct testimony, according to the court.
I got in touch on social media
The boy and the girl made contact for the first time through social networks. When they later met, the teenager raped the girl at a party in the woods, according to the verdict.
The 17-year-old has been convicted in two other cases this year for sexual exploitation of children and sexual harassment. The penalty for all crimes, given his age, is estimated at eight months and he has already been placed in a closed house for the care of minors.
