The sentence against the doctor is appealed - the prosecutor: "All cases must be rape"

See SVT Nyheter Uppsala's mini-documentary about the doctor and his crimes at the bottom of the article.

Chief prosecutor Gunnar Brodin, who specializes in crimes that occur in healthcare, calls the district court's verdict "in many parts well written".

- But it also has some ditch runs, he says.

Against his denial, the now 40-year-old doctor was convicted of rape against two patients and gross sexual harassment against six others. At the same time, he was acquitted of three counts of rape against a 17-year-old patient.

The verdict will be appealed.

- I was surprised, everything should be assessed as rape, even against the 17-year-old, says Gunnar Brodin.

Last fall, the doctor was sentenced in the Court of Appeal, after the district court verdict was appealed, to eight years in prison for raping nine patients.

In connection with the trial and the media coverage, new reports were received, which SVT has reported on.

As the District Court does not now rule in the same way as the Court of Appeal, Gunnar Brodin opens the possibility that the case may ultimately have to be tried in the Supreme Court.

- This may have to be taken there to get some clarity on how it should be assessed.

SVT is looking for the doctor's lawyer.
