A guard at the police station in Mölndal is suspected of molesting a woman while she was detained in the station's detox cell, reports the newspaper GT. The crime is classified as either rape or sexual assault.
The woman, who is in her early 20s, was intoxicated and taken into custody on Friday. She was placed in the detox cell in the Mölndal police station to sleep it off. The incident is believed to have occurred inside the cell where she was being held. There were no witnesses according to GT, but other staff later helped the woman file a police report.
The suspect is employed by the hour at the police station and has completed a guard training course. He denies the allegations.
