Sensual assaults on elderly women in Sweden: the report no one wants to talk about

A report has uncovered a series of rapes committed by young migrants from the Middle East and Africa in Swedish nursing homes. The victims are very elderly women, often over 80, and the perpetrators deliberately infiltrated themselves as care workers to gain access to them. Expert Johanna Läth warns that the number of unreported cases is probably significantly higher.

The refusal to identify the perpetrators

The Swedish police and criminologist Anders Östlund refuse to reveal the ethnic origin of the offenders, calling it "irrelevant". This stance has sparked controversy, as many believe that withholding this data prevents tackling the root of the problem. The report notes that some care homes did not even report the incidents, but instead tried to cover them up.

The silence of the care homes

According to the investigations, several care facilities chose not to inform the authorities, allowing the perpetrators to remain in their jobs. The lack of transparency has peine the debate on immigration and security in Sweden, a country that has traditionally maintained open-door policies.



What no analysis has managed to clarify is why, given this record, the police insist on not making public the background of those convicted, while the number of victims continues to rise.
