According to the indictment, it was in 2019 that a woman was raped in her apartment in Oxelösund. A man then allegedly helped the woman with a lock, then accompanied her inside, held her down and raped her.
But no suspected perpetrator was caught then. It wasn't until this year that a DNA match could link the now accused man to the seven-year-old rape, says prosecutor Fredrik Beijar.
In addition to the case from 2019, the man is also charged with, among other things, three more cases of rape that allegedly took place this year in Oxelösund. The man denies any wrongdoing.
