Sentence reduced to four months for brutal gang rape of 13 year old Swedish girl
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
On 14 June 2017 a 13-year-old girl was raped in a flat in Västerås. The three Somalis, reportedly born in 2000, were each sentenced in April for rape against a child to eight months of youth detention.
The judgement was appealed and the prosecutor demanded the perpetrator be punished.
Instead, Svea Hovrätt has chosen to severely lower their penalty, and furthermore, release one of the Somalis from the charge of child pornography, as it is unclear from the video if the girl has completed puberty.
Two are now sentenced to five months in juvenile detention, with the third released having served only four months.
The Africans plied the young girl with alcohol then one of the men brought her into the toilet, raping her. After she left the toilet, three of the men brought her back in and raped her at the same time. This led to the girl’s abdomen “splashing” and blood began to pour out.
As she cried, she was raped again while the others watched. It appeared later that two of the Somalis had filmed her as she was repeatedly raped. The videos were the strongest evidence in the case and were played during the trial, wrote Sweden’s Television.

What happened in Sweden the last time someone felt the politicians we're working against them?
I know what my course of action would be if I was the father. The boys and the judge. Stern talking to.....
its not going to be long before people start taking justice into their own hands. In France recently a group was arrested plotting revenge attacks against Muslims. I believe quite a few were family and friends of the Nice attack. Including a ex police officer who lost his daghter.
If she was my daughter the only place those scumbags would be safe is in jail.
why governments can't see the danger signs is beyond me
England is no different - they ignore the "Grooming Gangs". In Europe (and I believe it's coming to North America where the media ignores the atrocities now because they don't want to be added to the SPLC hate list) you get penalized, even thrown in Jail, if you even say one fucking word about the atrocities.
Silent_Hysteria, are you playing fair with this story or using it to drum up hysteria? Why did you leave this important feature out, though it is in your seed?
The court documents show that all three convicted men have dual citizenship in Sweden and Somalia, meaning they can not be expelled to Africa.
The fourth person was registered as under 15 when the crime occurred will not be punished.
The men are citizens of Sweden, too. Plus, did you look for the court results at all? To check if the court's reasoning is effectively sound?
Well, that makes all the difference in the world. Gang rape and child porn, but they are dual citizens, so they shuoldn't have to be saddled with a real criminal history or all that really hard jail time of like oh, 8 months.
What in the hell is wrong with people who think this is acceptable? Something missing from their conscience
Seems that they don't have morals.
To be clear, I have not expressed my personal perspective of what these Swedish citizens have done. My points were clarifying only. To ward off unwarranted implications not stated in the article by emphasizing what is stated there.
Interestingly, in addition, since yesterday eve, I have attempted vainly to draw up the opinion of the Swedish court (in English translation) to consider the court's reasoning. So far, can't "fetch" the document.
So what do I think (ahead of any other judicial reasoning)? It is a standing principle of mine that people should keep their hands (and fingerprints) off other people who do not want them there - or the law does not "equip" them to act in the manner they choose. So, I am sickened. Yet, I want to have more of my "how comes" settled, before going off like a lit firework!
I trust I am making myself clear.
Probably would have been good to explain yourself in the comment that kicked this off.........instead it came off as attacking the seeder.
Well, it's good to have 'friends,' eh Spikegary? No problem!
No. Not really. I'm not sure what the dual citizenship has to do with anything. That is, I don't see how it explains the ridiculous sentence these people received.
The dual citizenship clarifies. The men plus fifteen-year old uncharged boy, are Swedes. Emphasizing their Somali background could focus this discussion in racial, bias against immigrants directions. Which has the potential to be 'off the rails.' As we all fully know men (and boys) do these kinds of crimes—where they originally hail from being signifying nothing!
For parts of two days, I have attempted to 'break the code' on how to ask the 'Web' for this Swedish Appeals Court opinion with no luck! Perhaps, that country does not publish its opinions on the web? We need more information, else we will just be speculatin' and gathering up outrage ("lynch-mob mentality") all simply for outrage sake. What do you think, friend Drakkonis?
First, thank you for your response.
As to what I think, the dual citizenship doesn't clarify anything for me. I guess because I don't think politics should have anything to do with it. I recognize that, the way the world currently works it does, but it isn't how I work. If convicting these boys to a real, just sentence put us in a war, I'd do it anyway. Doing what is right is always worth doing, no matter the cost. To do otherwise, to me, says that systems are more important than people.
That said, I get what you mean about emphasizing their Somali background. But to my mind, that is playing the game in the political arena, not the human one. That is, taking into account their Somali origin panders to the idea that they didn't know better. That this was just a cultural thing or something. I can't think of what other reason there would be. Rape is wrong and no other consideration matters. Period.
That's how I see it.
I agree. And, sadly, I have struggled to find a link to review this case and I can not. So I am dropping the matter all together. Thank you for sharing, really. Sorry - I have nothing more. (Smile.)
That's okay. I wasn't directing my comments at you. Like you, I like to have all the facts. In this case, personally, I just didn't see how citizenship made a difference.
It's my frustration that is leaking out all over this story. I have a habit of reading higher court opinions—until now. A foreign country case has my number! (Smile.)
So now I am freeing myself to offer my own 'verdict.' Let me start by stating when I was younger I saw a rape taking place at a party, where I did not quite process what was 'wrong' with the woman in the room. My two 'cool' friends even dared to offer me a 'go.' I declined. But, stood there like a -whatever- and watched them complete themselves on her. I thought she was faking being out of it. Years later, I learned what "roofies" were and I was startled to recall how she looked strewn out. . .there.
For as long as I can remember, I am a strong proponent of men, women, boys, and girls keeping their hands (and fingerprints) off people who do not want what they wish to provide! The saying goes: "You can not rape the willing." Legally, children can not consent willingly.
These young men behaved stupidly, sloppily, and wrongly to put their hands on another set of adults 13 year old. It is utterly wrong what happened to her. I can only hope that the Law somehow acted justly. May God have mercy on these young men if others fill they have to 'help' the Court.
Sometimes justice "happens".......
I hear you and I sadly understand. It is going to suck to be Larry Nasser for probably a very long time!
I didn't have any motive in that. I didn't think it made a difference as the length of the punishment was the main issue. Although I believe they have their citizenship after refugee status.
main point was the punishment. There are other instances of this happening as well. People getting reduced or no punishment for "cultural differences". Not knowing "no meant no".
We need more information. Keep in mind, these are Swedish courts, Swedish law, Swedish remedies. For purposes of this discussion, we need Swedish Court "opinions." Still searching. . . .
Even if it's Swedish law I find it hard to believe anyone would think 4 months is justice in a gang rape of a 13 year old crying for them to stop while she is ripped internally and hemorrhaging.
That is a judgement about right and wrong based on personal consideration; and, it may be so. I certainly agree with you. However, what must be found out by us as onlookers peering in is the logic of the Court! I have been away for several hours. But, i want to find this case. Hope we can!
