Chief prosecutor, Bengt Åsbäck, said in his summons that the men had shown particular disrespect through both participating in the assault of the plaintiff, in a locked room, the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper reported.
The men have been charged with aggravated rape. Both men have admitted that they had sexual intercourse with the girl, but they deny criminal action.

As opposed to a respectful rape. What a moronic statement.
sorry bad pun.
seems like they need to stop teaching evolution down at the low end of sverige!
the men are starting to act like apes and not men !
I got a call about trading something I had on Blocket for something else that the caller wanted. The caller had a nice watch that I wanted. I decided not to do it because i really didn't trust him because he sounded like an immigrant. I never thought I was the kind of person that had prejudice. I have lots of immigrant friends and have had plenty of minority friends in my life. But there we go.... I'm a freaking prejudice.
Is our underlying prejudice causing them to act out? Or is their acting out causing our prejudice?
You are partly right. Why? Because Rock teaches drugs and alcohol and getting high in any way you can. Let us not blame music, because I believe as humans we are automatically born with brains and conscience to know the difference between right and wrong.
Lol ditto! unfortunately there are way too many anti-immigrant, anti-black,zenophobic comments in 'the local' and ironically most of them come from non-Swedes!!! I can't understand why they think they are eligible to talk on behalf of 9 millions Swedes!
I don't call it racism
Anyways I bet they are immigrants.
what was a16 year old girl doing INTOXICATED to the extent as to vomit?? Mamma or Pappa where were you????
how can you be sure they are immigrants!! it is neither scientifically, nor politically nor ethically correct to make such a comment. would it be correct if I say that you are racist?! if i follow your approach i can easily say that...
i cannot understand this hate against immigrants. another thing is that immigrants do not constitute a homogeneous category: there are males and females, they are from Chile or Iraq or somewhere else, there are atheists and fundamentalists, there are feminists, socialists, fundamentalists, conservatives among them...

You are redneck fascist who is NOT a Swedish resident. You know SFA about anything Swedish or anything else.
Why don't you go jump in a lake and leave us in peace
We know eho you are and so does Säpo
Although, I have friends that are Kriminalvårdare and almost all the inmates are immigrants. As well as the customers at my job. They are always trying to scheme and trick. I'm not a racist for stating things that are fact in my own life.
I have the right to talk about these things without being called names.
It has shown that in cases of Rape and sexual assault 80% of the culprits are either 1st or 2nd generation immigrants. The unfortunate thing here is that SÄPO does not keep records on ethnicity (I have emailed to enquire) and so we have to rely on outside help. In this case from the European Union. Why are there so many people out there defending immigrants that are so clearly the biggest problem? Case in point Mona Sahlin.
I leave you with this question, is it a prejudice if it is the truth?
These rules are commonly referred to as the "Lilla Saltsjöbadavtalet" (The little salt sea spa agreement).The agreement was supposed to be kept a secret, but as has happened with most of the state manipulated reporting on the multi cultural project, the truth has come out.The agreed rules were as follows:
"As an independent journalist, you must observe the following recommendations:Report positively, if necessary rename, fellow Swedes of foreign origin. In particular, this must be observed when reporting on activities related to youth, sports and art.
When reporting from events involving different cultures, interview and put visual focus on people of foreign descent. For a period of five years, you must systematically and consistently refrain from reporting on negative aspects like crime that can identify any religious or racial affiliation of the involved or can have a negative effect upon a population as a whole." (The language is really as clumsy as that)
Bottom line... Regardless of Religion, Race or Culture, It's Lucky for those guys it wasn't my child they violated. : (
Incidentally I didn't read anything in the article about the ethnicity of the victim or the perpetrators. So I can only assume those people going on about that are illiterate idiots. However I wish the article had provided this information.
The news should give full and complete information on the perpetrators ethnicity, names, where they live, their hometowns, where they grew up and went to school, but then there is a particularly Swedish form of stupidity where Sweden likes to protect criminals. The more information given the better it is for everyone in the end. Yes, protect victims' identities, but perpetrators should not be offered such protection.
