A 19-year-old woman from central Sweden who accused a 13-year-old boy of raping her has instead been convicted for sexually exploiting a minor.
- Swedish court clears 'bottle sex' men of rape (15 May 13)
- Six teens on trial for Stockholm gang rape (10 May 13)
- Toddler dies after dad leaves him alone in car (8 May 13)
But doubts about the woman's claims surfaced following an investigation into the matter, which instead led to the 19-year-old woman finding herself charged with child rape and for submitting a false statement to police.
Prosecutors took the case to Skaraborg District Court, which ruled that it was in fact the woman who was had taken the lead in the affair.
According to the court, the 19-year-old woman had lied in her witness testament about what had transpired between her and the 13-year-old boy.
The evidence, the court ruled, suggested that she had may have been guilty of child rape.
In the end, however, the court convicted the 19-year-old woman of sexually exploiting a minor, rather than child rape, for the sexual relations shared between the two.
Finding the 19-year-old guilty, the court sentenced her to 100 hours of community service.
In addition, she was ordered to to attend a “Relationships and Social Life” correctional programme (Relation och Samlevnad) offered by the Skövde criminal ward.
The woman has since confessed to both sexually exploiting the boy, and to giving a false statement about the incident to police.

What's wrong with girls in Sweden. What could she possibly gain from falsely accusing a 13 year old boy of raping her. How is that even possible...?
This is the second time this week reading about a women who falsely accuse men of rape. This is an increasing trend lately. Soon enough, nobody will actually believe any true rape.
why would a swedish girl do it? I mean she can have anyone as her partner by just going out on friday or saturday night as it is the norm in sweden.
And only 100 hours of community service for minor sexual exploitation ?? i think this is being too soft on the convicted teen
I think i commented on the true spirit of the article, and rightly pointed out that there must be no reason for the girl to be sexually frustrated which could lead her to this crime. Anyway now she is convicted, do you think 100 hours of service suffice ? I dont think so
Is this case really such a "shock child rape reversal"? or is our lack of acceptance awareness & understanding of female perpetrated child rape the real shocking fact behind this case?
Yeah, right.Playboy?
But seriously, do not let the rejection affect the whole of your life.
At least you had the magazines.Now, when I was 13 we lived in a cardboard box - no lid - and we never even saw a magazine. The nearest we got to that was a picture torn out of a newspaper and when it was cold we would pin it on the side of the cardboard box and gather round this crumpled picture of a stove.
As to the former case, how many such boys complained about the sexual encounter? Or did they boost of it and this was the catalyst for it coming to the attention of the ever-present, nanny-state 'authorities.'
Maybe the young lad was just too eager and unexperienced and she did not get what she was after ......poor reason to call foul.
there are plenty of us who would show her how it is done!
some one should remind her it is 100 hours community service not 100 hours of servicing the community!
More to the point Jeff10 what would you do to a boy who wanted to complain about a sexual encounter with a woman? Would you intimidate & threaten him into not complaining just because you refuse to accept that he has been sexually abused and exploited by a woman?
Well, you might have a point, but the problem with your 'theory' is that you can't point to one source/newstory/etc. wherein a boy complained about such an encounter. What has happened in most cases is that the relationship was discovered either by school authorities or parents of the child.
Again, name one such boy who complained about being seduced by his female teacher. Just one. And cite the source.
