A Swedish truck driver has been charged with five rapes in Southern and Eastern Norway. The man said he would frame prostitute traffickers and pretended also to be a police officer.
The 41 years old man was arrested on March 6 and has been in custody since. A total of ten investigators have at most worked on it, and also the Criminal Police are involved, writes Stavanger Aftenblad.
– So far, we suspect that the accused have raped five women. The environment he has operated, is an environment that does not usually go to the police to report the assault. The investigation has been challenging, says police lawyer Karen Mork.
The man acknowledged having had sexual relations with two of the victims when he was questioned by police the first time, but claimed that it was voluntarily from women page.
– My client has stated that he wants to frame prostitution traffickers. He had a desire to unravel the environment and sending perpetrators a warning, saying the man’s defender Knut Lerum.
According to the newspaper, the accused in several meetings with the prostitute released out to be policeman, allegedly easier to obtain information from women. He also acknowledged that he often had with his pistol in his meetings with prostitute, but has argued that it was only because he wanted to convince them that he really was the police.
The married trailer driver is no prior convictions for similar conditions in the country.
– My client denies rape. He says the contrary that he has wanted to support and to help these women, says Lerum.
The man will not oppose the prolonged detention when detention period expires Monday, said Lerum.
