On the night of 21 January 2017, in Uppsala, Sweden, a group of three men gang raped a nearly unconscious woman for around three hours and livestreamed the assault on Facebook.
The Local, an English language news website, reported that "the alleged crime took place in an apartment in the city of Uppsala early on Sunday morning.
"[6][7] The Expressen online newspaper went on to say that "Police are investigating a case of suspected sexual abuse against a woman who was filmed and sent out live on Facebook on Sunday morning.
Due to the fact that it was filmed by one of her alleged rapists, who openly demeans and belittles her throughout the video, some news outlets point out the possibility that she may have been coerced.
while laughing, then, addressing the camera, states that he would "fuck her tonight" ("[Jag ska] knulla henne ikväll"), at which point police arrived at the scene.
[17] The presiding judge, Nils Pålbrant, stated that even if the woman had agreed to sex as they claimed, she was in a vulnerable position and hence they would be held guilty of rape.
