A 61-year-old man was sentenced to eight years in prison by the Attunda District Court on Tuesday for raping two young children who were in his care, one of whom was just four years old.

- Six teens on trial for Stockholm gang rape (10 May 13)
- Notorious rapist jailed for sex with 14-year-old girl (9 Apr 13)
“It was the sentencing that I had insisted on, so I am satisfied with the ruling,” said prosecutor Isabelle Bjursten to the TT news agency.
The man confessed to possessing child porn, which he at times showed to the young victims while he masturbated.
He also photographed some of his own sexual crimes.
Apart from being convicted of rape, he was found guilty of child pornography crimes and sexual molestation.
The court said in a statement that the man's behaviour was "particularly reckless" as he had taken advantage of the children's defenselessness.
Meanwhile, the 61-year-old’s lawyer believes the punishment is unreasonably harsh.
“I think eight years is far too long, so I’m recommending that he appeals the whole thing,” Palle Källström told TT.
The two children will receive 375,000 kronor ($56,200) in damages.

Could be a contributing factor to the harshness, perhaps.
I asked my swedish friend what they think about executing child rapists, they say no that is really mean. They should spend time in jail enough to cure them, then released because after that they will be cured and won't commit this crime again. And we shouldn't hold it against them because they were mentally ill. What about the kids they raped? Well they will get counseling and usually money.
The guy should be executed or spend his life in jail, which is not much.
Up until 1 year or two ago it was okay to go to the library and look at child porn. Because the government thinks people should be allowed to see child porn as long as they do not trade or make it. Insane, the whole progressive open-minded thinking is stupid and retared. Nihilists are stupid. There is right and wrong, but so many liberals say there's gray and reasons for why they do the things they do. Whatever.
why are kids state property ?
Social service Role not going right in each situation in most cases they listening to child but not parents, giving more attention to child which further makes child strengthen in his thoughts,and if his imaginary world can´t become true so starts again complain about parents(my parents are not nice,not giving food,becoming angry),social worker are solving situation not problem.
in this case social took child from parent no one know what was situation,did social listen to parents,did social inform parent. so kids have been rapped now by foster ,so this was the solution of social what answer they can give to kids parents?
To give money as compensation to kids,morals u cant measure in money.
