(They) humiliated robbery victim by pissing on him-sentenced to juvenile care


Stockholm: Today, the verdict fell on the two 16-year-olds who, in an attention-getting robbery, finished by urinating on the 18-year-old victim and forcing him to undress on the lower part of his body while the attack was filmed to be spread on the Internet.


After Nyheter Idag brought attention to the humiliation robbery against the 18-year-old youth, who for hours was led around some of Stockholm's southern suburbs while he was subjected to violence and threats, the question of humiliation and hate against Swedes is being debated in various ways. Today, the sentence fell against the two 16-year-olds who were charged with the incident.

The district court wrote of the incident that, "these crimes included a very serious violation of (the victim's) personal integrity and caused severe mental distress for him. He was subjected  to the crimes for almost three hours with constant threats against him and his family. He was humiliated  by being urinated upon and forced to take off his pants and underwear".

"One 16-year-old explained this behavior that they were irritated that the (18-year-old) couldn't get money for them. Otherwise, they have not been able to explain their behavior with anything other than it was "a bad idea".

For the crime, one 16-year-old is convicted in court for robbery and abuse, while the other-who spread the film-is also convicted of illegal privacy trespass. Both are sentenced to youth care, and together, they will pay damages of  just under 65,000 kronors to the plaintiff.

One of the perpetrators is also sentenced for two further robberies, one case for unlawful detention, and another case for abuse in a court case, which according to the district court calls for 4 years in prison for an adult who is not covered by youth reduction. Instead, there will be six months youth care in an HVB home. The prosecutor demanded that he be sentenced  to closed youth care, but he did not get a hearing for this in court. The other perpetrator was, at the time of the crime, already in the care of social services.

The case involved several different crimes, and besides the two mentioned perpetrators, another four 16-year-olds were sentenced for, among others, robberies.
