A Swedish couple has been told that they will not face charges of sexual molestation after having had sexual intercourse in the broad daylight near a popular family swimming spot in Säffle in central Sweden on Wednesday.

Apparently overcome by the moment, one couple moved on from innocent kissing and cuddling to full intercourse in plain view of groups of families with children.
The families couldn’t help but witness the events unfolding before their eyes, and one of the parents felt compelled to act and called the police.
According to the TT news agency, the parent said that the call had to be made in order to protect the children from the sight of the copulating couple.
A police unit was dispatched to the location and when they arrived the couple had completed their exertions.
According to the police the lovers were somewhat sheepish and expressed some understanding for the complaints from the innocent bystanders.
The police at first considered whether the couple could face charges of sexual molestation, with their audience identified as the victims in the case, but the police have decided to close the investigation.
Sexual molestation (sexuellt ofredande) is a crime under Swedish law and can for example apply to flashing or groping, as a well sex chat with minors.

I mean, no seriously I think I am wrong somewhere. Because as far as I remember, year ago there was a news item where some people complained for people swimming naked, and the swimming pool hall management didnt do anything about it. And many posters here were complaining, if people are bothered for such rules then dont go to the swiming pool.
So it is allowed in that case? :S seriously I think kids will not do anything if they find some other USE of the thing hanging in the front! :S
Good job officers, next time please call me to help you with such investigations!
I still wonder what kind of questions are asked ?
"Can you please sir, describe me which position they applied"
"Ma'am , according to your experience, how hard was it for the girl ... give me a number from scale 1 to 10, where 1 is something barely itchy and 10 is Ultimate Hardcore"
Yes, people are allowed to swim nude, but that does not mean they are trying to have sex with whoever comes along. The problem is when people react to nudity the way you are reacting to it, by sexualizing it. Don't look at nude bathers (and especially nude children at the beach) as horny people wanting sex. See them for what they are: people enjoying the freedom of their natural state under the sun and sky. Nudity has nothing to do with sexuality except when distorted minds cannot disconnect the two.
You Swedes like to pretend to be liberal, but you're all just a bunch of hypocrites.
How can a couple having consensual sex be seen to be 'molesting' third parties? I can understand laws about 'public indecency' but does
'molestation' have some special esoteric meaning in Swedish?
As is the writer of the sentence. So, simply being English would hardly qualify you.
Oh yes I am a hot blooded Aussie male but if I was to have sex with my girlfriend or with 2 other women I would do it discreetly in a jungle on a deserted beach etc. Shame on those you who have not though this couple should be at least chatised for their behaviou
Ciao,
