A 31-year-old man from Syria, who works in a nursing home, will be tried for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl, resulting in her pregnancy, but there is no chance for his deportation.

The prosecution says the girl resorted to abortion following the pregnancy, with DNA testing of the fetus confirming the Syrian was the rape suspect in question. However, because the Syrian has since become a Swedish citizen, he will not be deported.

The man first came into contact with the girl through Snapchat. The Syrian told police he started talking to her while he was on vacation in Saudi Arabia, where his mother lives.

The 12-year-old girl later told police the Syrian told her he was significantly younger than he actually was. They both lived near each other, with the Syrian in the Gävle county and the girl living in Uppsala.

“It is my assessment that I have a good evidentiary position,” prosecutor Karin Koci told Swedish newspaper Samnytt.

The first time the two met, they ate kebab together, but the second time, he quickly grabbed her inside a park, immediately pulled down her pants, and forcibly began raping her.

“He was quite aggressive,” she told the police. “So he raped me quite aggressively and quickly. I don’t know how to describe it.”

The man immediately left after the rape in the direction of a cemetery.

The girl then discovered that her period was late and that she felt nauseous. A pregnancy test showed she was pregnant, but when she spoke to the Syrian, he told her it was not his problem.

“That’s not my problem. You can fix it yourself,” he reportedly told her.

The girl went to the police and then underwent an abortion, with the police collecting DNA evidence from the aborted fetus proving the Syrian was the father.

The Syrian has been charged with child rape and admits he had a sexual relationship with the girl but claimed she took his sperm on his finger and inserted it. He also claims he believed she was an adult.

“She has turned 18, is single, doesn’t look too bad. Pleasant and very kind. You shouldn’t be rude to her. We had a relationship where we were nice to each other,” he said.

He is originally from Hama in Syria and arrived in Sweden in September 2014 and was then granted permanent residence. He gained citizenship in 2022 and cannot be deported.
