Swedish Court Won't Deport Rapist Due to Incident's Duration
In Sweden, Yazied Mohamed, a refugee, was convicted of raping a 16-year-old girl and received a prison sentence.
The court, however, decided not to deport him.
The court's reason was that the rape 'did not last long enough' to be considered exceptionally serious, which is the legal threshold for deportation.
The incident occurred in a pedestrian tunnel in Skellefteå, after the victim missed her bus.
This decision has sparked debate because the victim was reported saying that "I hate him and that he has destroyed me".
Yazied Mohamed, convicted of rape, will not be deported.
The ruling was made by the Alto Norrland Court of Appeals.
The court cited the duration of the rape as justification.
The attack happened in a pedestrian tunnel in Skellefteå.
The victim was initially grabbed after missing her bus home.
