Hopefully the police have more to work with than “foreign man.”

That term applies to, like, 60% of the people in Sweden at this point.

Helsingborgs Dagblad (Translation):

During Friday night, police were alerted by a woman in her upper teens who told her she had been raped in central Helsingborg between 21 and 22 o’clock on Friday evening. The rape took place outdoors by a foreign man.

She has been subjected to sexual acts by a man. We have been barred from the crime scene and have called in special search dogs who are searching for tracks, says Marcus Andersson, internal commander of the police.

The woman has been taken to hospital to secure evidence and to receive care.

She has had some injuries, says Marcus Andersson.

The police are investigating the case as gross rape.

We have a signal element and a lot of information to work on, but I will not comment on details, says Marcus Andersson.

The police have no suspects at this time.

A convicted paedophile has been given permission to adopt a child in Sweden despite sexually abusing a five-year-old girl.

Swedish authorities say the man, aged in his sixties, is now not in danger of reoffending.

The man, from the town of Helsingborg, has committed more than 90 crimes (mostly fraud-related charges) including molesting a young girl from his neighbourhood in 2004 according to The Local.

He was also suspected of raping a young teenage girl.

He now wishes to adopt his 10-year-old stepson following the death of the boy’s mother, whom the man married in 2009.

The mother and biological father were reported to consent to the adoption application.

A municipality social affairs committee deemed the man’s risk of reoffending as low, with nine of the 10 panel members voting to allow the application.
