Two 20-year-old men have been sentenced to three years in prison for raping a 17-year-old boy at a party in Kumla in central Sweden.
- Swedish teen boy raped by group of men (27 Mar 09)
- Swedish teen sex ring trial underway (27 Mar 09)
- Woman convicted for seducing Swedish teen (11 Feb 09)
The incident took place in connection with a small party on the night of March 20th of this year.
The 17-year-old victim, who was drunk and passed out in a bed at the time of the attack, was handcuffed to the bed frame by a third man who then left the room, according to the Aftonbladet newspaper.
Later, the two men entered the room and proceeded to rape the boy with various foreign objects while he slept.
He awoke in a great deal of pain and with severe injuries to his rectum.
The court ruled that the men exhibited extreme disregard for the 17-year-old’s helpless condition when the sexually molested him. The severity of the attack warranted a conviction for aggravated rape, according to the court.
The man who initially fastened the boy to the bed with handcuffs was also sentenced to 75 hours of community service for aggravated assault.

Apart from that, perhaps the one with the handcuffs got off easy because he cooperated with the police? Just guessing.
The same problem was in Nigeria in Christian cities. so what they did they allowed the Islamic law for rapist. the result was excellent the rate of rape fall down quickly..
Solution is if someone rape your sister,brother,mother simply follow Islamic law and if he is single and raped then prison for him for 20 years and if he married and commit rape then hang him on public. so rapper wouldn't get hot anymore LOL
So the problem is not with law in Sweden but with these Lawyers and judges! you will find many contradictions in their decisions regarding one issue from different courts.
The guy who handcuffed the boy should have gotten more than just some hours of community service. Really disgusts me how they pamper rapists here. Makes me wonder if it's because those people in the courts and law are a bit twisted themselves.
