The nurse's own words about the rape of the terminally ill patient

A man in his 40s was charged yesterday at the Jönköping district court for aggravated rape of a patient who was being cared for in the end-of-life phase. Now the interrogations with him have been made public.

He says that he has built a man and a persona that he believes people want to see, and that he realizes that there are feelings that he should have but does not possess.

Selected the patient deliberately

The man says he chose the patient because she was unconscious and he didn't want to do something like that to a person who would feel anything or be aware of what was going on.

- It went completely wrong in the head, he says.

He says that he took off his shirt and had his pants down to his ankles when he got into bed with the woman. When he was approached by a colleague, he had stood up.

Crashed the car

The colleague says in questioning that she did not initially think that there had been an assault:

- But what I'm thinking is that he's trying to change her position and that the pants are too big so they've slipped down a bit. Really innocent thought. So I remember just standing in the doorway and saying (nurse's name), what are you doing? And then he turns around and pulls up his pants.

After accompanying the colleague and her calling the police, he tried to escape. Guards were called but he managed to get into his car and drive away, crashing a short time later.
