The sexual abuse of elderly women by migrant carers in Sweden was shamefully ignored

In Sweden , as in Britain , it seems that many vulnerable individuals have been raped and sexually abused.

Those in positions of authority sometimes downplayed or hushed up allegations because of their low view of the victims and, potentially, the identity of some of the perpetrators.

The scandal broke properly in early September last year , when 84-year-old Elsa (using the pseudonym, Vera ’) decided to speak out in an interview.

UNT contacted Sweden ’s Health and Social Care Inspectorate ( IVO ) and demanded to see all reports of elder sexual abuse in the Swedish care system over the past five years .

It turned out that councils across Sweden had received a staggering 45 reports.

Some of these reports involved more than one perpetrator abusing a single victim.

Others involved several victims reporting a single perpetrator.

Mones Afshar used his electronic key to access the flat of an elderly lady who wasn’t in his care.

He was found guilty of rape and sentenced to five and a half years in prison.

He has since protested and says that his life will be in danger if he returns.
