Four men in their 20s have been charged with seven cases of child rape after allegedly entering care homes in northeastern Skåne and Blekinge, Sweden, and raping several girls. According to the official source, one of the men first entered a care home in northeastern Skåne in September, where he raped a 16-year-old girl in exchange for drugs. The next day, he returned with a friend and did the same.

Ten days later, he came back with a new friend and is suspected of raping two 16-year-old girls. One of the girls was then moved to a care home in Blekinge, but two days later, the two friends and a third man allegedly picked up the 16-year-old girl and two 14-year-old girls, later raping them at an outdoor location in the municipality. All four men were arrested in early October and deny the crimes.

A fifth man, who drove the suspects to Blekinge, has been charged with four cases of aiding child rape against his denial.
