A midwife at Kvinnokliniken in Malmö faces potential prison time after police investigators concluded her report of being raped at work was false, according to local media reports. The woman had reported being attacked and raped in a changing room under the women's clinic after finishing her shift, creating widespread alarm among thousands of hospital employees. Despite the police investigation finding that the incident never occurred, the midwife reportedly maintained during trial proceedings that she had been raped.
The case, which involved allegations of a sexual assault by a stranger in the hospital's service tunnels, initially caused panic throughout the entire hospital facility before suspicions turned toward the midwife herself. According to Skånska Dagbladet, the woman risks imprisonment for the false report, though she continues to stand by her original account of events.
