A female caregiver is suspected of having sold sex to an 85-year-old man, who was known to the authorities for having shown a large appetite for sex, according to a report in the local Borås Tidning (BT) daily.

Borås municipality has subsequently opened an investigation in accordance with Lex Sarah, a law obliging staff in the care industry to report instances of mistreatment to social services.
The 85-year-old, who is a long-term client of the municipal home-help service, was known to the authorities for having shown a significant interest in sex. With this in mind, the municipality has deliberately avoided sending female caregivers alone to the man's home.
But it has come to light that the woman got to know the elderly man and that she is now suspected of having received several hundred thousand kronor (tens of thousands of US dollars), rumoured to be payment for sexual services rendered.
"If this is the case then it is very tragic occurrence for all those involved. And if it is shown to be mere rumour then that is also tragic," a representative for the local municipality told BT.
From July 1st the law governing Lex Sarah will be expanded from care for the elderly and disabled to cover all social services.
Furthermore municipalities will also be required to report all case of mistreatment to the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen), replacing the previous requirement for only the most serious cases to be reported.

Seriously, what sort of Pyongyang state is it when propaganda is used to help the state enforce judgments that haven't shown any proof, just speculation.
(1) Was this not an agreement between consenting adults?
(2) Who was harmed?
(3) Isn't this interference with a legally binding contract between two consenting adults?
(4) Why is it a crime for an 85 y/o man to have sex?
(5) Given that this is an 85 y/o man, and that he has a large sexual appetitte for an 85 y/o man, isn't this still a misdemeanor?
It is considered mistreatment if a carer uses their position to exploit the weakness of a patient.
Consider this fact - the article mentions several hundred thousand kronor. If the carer charged the old man say 20,000 per occasion, would you consider this to be extortion/abuse of one's position?
At that age if he gets a bit of enjoyment, good luck to him.
They're not hurting anyone and both seem to be happy with their ongoing arrangement, so leave them alone.
And why Lex Sarah is mentioned? The old chap surely received high-standard care. There's nothing tragic in this, someone seems to be just being envious.
What is wrong in Sweden today?
How did a crazy hate group like the radfems manage to get taken seriously in the first place in Sweden ? Did they blackmail politicians? Surely it can't be on the merits of their sex-phobic ideology.
I'm going to have to put aside as few bucks for when i'm in need for a caregiver.
I feel sorry for any future partners of this Swedish female caregiver though... imagine having to make screw someone who's just had a zombie pump them...
