Norwegian boy suspected of Örebro rape

A Norwegian boy participating in a football tournament in Örebro, in central Sweden, is suspected of rape, while two teammates are suspected of sexually harassing three girls.

The boys are suspected of approaching and attacking three girls, aged 11 to 13, at a public swimming area in Örebro, central Sweden on Thursday.

“The girls were sexually harassed. One of the cases has been classified as child rape,” said Peter Persson of the Örebo police to the TT news agency.

Persson said the boy facing the most serious charges is 13 years old. He said the alleged rape crime did not involve intercourse, adding that the boy had used his hands.

Although one of the boys is above the age of criminal responsibility, Persson said the case will most likely be handed over to social services.

The organizers of the football tournament, Örebro SK Ungdom, have said the police will decide on the appropriate course of action.

“This has been terribly upsetting, but there’s nothing more we can do,” Peter Johansson, the head of Örebro SK Ungdom told TT.

Moreover, Johansson explained that the incident took place on a free day when the boys had no games.

The annual tournament is being held for the 14th time.

“It’s a small tournament with the best boys' teams participating from a few elite clubs,” Johansson said.

No racist comments this time? Nothing about those foreigners from south europe invading sweden? where are you now..

playmobil, I can post the name of the players of the team which contains the perpetrators, if you like? Or that is probably out of line on thelocal, but i can post the teamname, "Skeid", and you can check it out for yourself? Half the names are not classically norwegian as it were. Furthermore, the regular rumours and testimonies from passers by and people in the area on flashback further backs up this impression, that its the usual suspects, this time just as in almost every other case.

@ playmobil

To point out that there are more criminals in certain groups in soceity isn`t racist. It has nothing to do with race or skincolour. But these groups crimes should be discussed openly if one ever wants crime to drop. The ones pointed out in this case is not what you seem to think.
21:28 July 27, 2012 by playmobil
teenagers playing football is the group pointed out isn't it ;)

He used his hands?

Being uncivilized is not a crime in and of itself. However, it would behoove civilized nations not to allow uncivilzed people into their countries, purely as an act of prudence and self-preservation.

Uncivilised is not a crime but rape and sexual harrassment are. What on earth is going on in Norway these days, as if we don't already know!!!

There is a difference between Norwegian and "Norwegian"... It's just like with the "Swedish" terrorists, remember? :). Mass media in Sweden reminds me of communist Romania.

What does he mean,"there's nothing more we can do"?? What you can do is send these vile thugs to a detention centre and give them 50 lashings each. If their parents have failed bringing them up properly then society needs to do the job for them.

Achilles7, properly according to whome?
14:59 July 28, 2012 by Achilles7
What do you mean according to whom? Anybody and everybody? Are you implying that in some twisted way it is okay to bring up your children so that they molest and rape young girls?
15:47 July 28, 2012 by jostein
@Achilles7

Different people have different norms. If a behaviour is as widespread in certain groups of people then it is hardly that they are poorly brought up. But rather that they are brought up to be something different than what people are brought up to be in swedish culture.

I believe that in some cultures its ok and even desirable to rape females of the neighbouring clan, assuming you can get away with it. It makes evolutionary sense. And we ARE noticing these cultural differences when such cultures set up colonies here in sweden.
19:02 July 28, 2012 by Achilles7
Well fine, kick them out of Sweden then because that's most certainly not what we do here.
22:53 July 28, 2012 by playmobil
So... it took a while, but here you are!

@Achilles7

I am not one for making policies. My aim is speaking truths. I believe one should be humble in all things. Thats what i reacted to in your post. Just because you and me might have a set of values doesnt mean that everyone will share those values. Nor does it mean that our values are "right". Nor does it mean that wha we perceive as "right" is universal. Right for me. Wrong for you. Maybe.

@playmobil

Silly grandstanding after you have had your argument exposed as frivolous and bigoted. Its pathetic.

I think Playmobil doesn't realize it when he puts his foot in his mouth.
