Coming soon released one of Sweden’s most serious rapists. Although Lindgren is still considered dangerous he becomes conditional freedom after serving two-thirds of the sentence. On Friday, the court decides whether he should be able to move freely in Umeå where he assaulted and raped several women.
Haga man sat for several years fear in Umeå women. When he was released on July 28, he wants to move back to the same area.
However, the monitoring committee would not want him to have the right to stay in Umeå vicinity during the next year. It now protesting Lindgren received. He wants the area where he should not be allowed to move to be limited or removed completely.
Ad:
Lindgren writes to the Court that there should be “greater attention to my family situation”. He is also unhappy that he should be forced to comprehensive treatment program for sex offenders after being released. On Friday takes Umeå district court consider his appeal.
Despite the long time in prison judged Lindgren still be very dangerous. Probation believes that the risk of repetition of sexual offenses is great.
Otherwise, relapse sex offenders relatively rare in similar crimes, compared with other violent criminals, says Långström, professor of psychiatric epidemiology and national scientific advisor for Probation. He would not comment on any individual case.
– sex offenders in Sweden relapse on average less often in the new sex crimes than other violent offenders. But the risk of recurrence increases with the number of risk factors for continued criminality, says Långström.
Some of the risk factors is the extent of sexual offenses, deviant sexual ignition patterns and hostility toward women.
The judges against Lindgren shows that it is precisely in his case there are several of such risk factors.
It was in the late 1990s that the first complaints came about an unknown man who assaulted and raped women. The youngest victim was 14 years old, the oldest was 51. They had been exposed to very brutal violence. He had, among other things bitten off the ear of a woman and another he left helpless out in eight-degree cold.
The stranger came to be called Haga man because a large part of the attacks occurred in the district of Haga.
But it was not until March 2006 before police could arrest the offender. It turned out to be a 33-year-old factory worker, married with two small children.
When Lindgren then sentenced , the Court noted that many of the crimes “characterized by brutal and disproportionate use of force with elements of humiliation. What woman would suffer seems to have been due to chance. ” He was convicted of attempted murder, two rough rape, two rapes and one attempted rape. The prosecutor called for life imprisonment, but the sentence was 14 years.
Meanwhile, the institute has Haga man behaved exemplary. He has had regular contact with their relatives, including children and even his wife, who he now has separated the from. The leave of absence, he has received, he has managed without any objections.
Lindgren also has undergone several treatment programs for offenders, including the so-called ROS program for sex offenders.
But despite this, consider Probation that there is a high risk that the Haga man relapsing into the same kind of crimes he is convicted.
Since he still has behaved so there is no basis for the Correctional keep him in an institution where two-thirds of the sentence had been served.
The same day as the Haga man released from prison on July 28 organized a manifestation against violence and sexual abuse against women in Umeå.
