A Social Democratic lay judge in the high-profile case against care worker Shakir Mahmoud Shakir, convicted of raping a 100-year-old woman, has been suspended and reported to police for breaching confidentiality by publicly criticizing the verdict. The prosecutor plans to appeal the four-year sentence, which spared deportation despite political outrage.

A man in his 40s has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for a rape in a park in Örebro in October. The woman was attacked on her way home late at night and managed to interrupt the assault by calling for help, after which a group of friends intervened and helped police apprehend the man. He denies the crime but the district court convicted him and ordered him to pay 245,000 kronor in damages to the victim.
