New rape reports against the convicted doctor

Last week, the 40-year-old former doctor was convicted of raping two patients and aggravated sexual assault against six others, this while he is serving an eight-year prison sentence for raping nine patients in Uppsala and Stockholm.

In connection with the verdict, SVT Nyheter Uppsala published a mini-documentary about the doctor, his crime and how new reports came in while others were being investigated.

- I think there is a dark story, says investigator Jens Zackaroff in the mini-documentary.

Now two male patients, who previously did not appear in any investigation, have reported the doctor, confirms chief prosecutor Gunnar Brodin.

- It is of the same nature as in previous crimes, I cannot say more as it is very early. We are investigating it as rape, he tells SVT.

The investigation into the new reports is in its infancy and no prosecutorial hearings have yet been held, much less has the doctor been informed of any suspicion of wrongdoing.

The chief prosecutor has previously announced that he will appeal the district court's latest verdict as he thinks the doctor should be sentenced for rape against all patients.

- This may have to be taken to the Supreme Court to get some clarity on how it should be assessed, Gunnar Brodin said then.
