  • A police officer is charged with sexual assault against a 15-year-old after previous incidents involving minors
  • The officer had a history of inappropriate behavior including sending sexual messages to a 13-year-old in 2012
  • In a separate case, a man in his 50s is charged with assault against a teenage girl under his care

According to Expressen, the police officer sent sexual messages to a 13-year-old girl in 2012 but kept his job. Last year, the officer was confronted by Dumpen after having sexual chats with an alleged 14-year-old, Expressen reports. The officer is now charged with sexual assault against a 15-year-old, though the specific details of the charges have not been disclosed.

It remains unknown whether the officer is still employed by the police force, and the outcome of the 2012 incident where he retained his job has not been confirmed. The identity and role of Dumpen, who confronted the officer, are also unclear. In an unrelated case, Barometern-OT reports that a man in his 50s is charged with assault against a child in his proximity.

According to Barometern-OT, the victim is a teenage girl who was under the man's upbringing or had a similar relationship. It is not known whether the police officer in Expressen's report and the man in Barometern-OT's report are the same person.
