The man worked at a school for primary and middle school students in Borås.
The crimes were committed over several years against fifteen students who had regular contact with the teacher.
The indictment covers around 30 charges.
The police have conducted around 80 interviews with the vulnerable children, their parents, school staff and others concerned.
– It is a very extensive case where the investigative work has been going on for more than a year and has grown as new information has come in, says chamber prosecutor Andreas Lennartsson, who is the head of the preliminary investigation, in a press release.
The investigative work has been going on for more than a year time and grew as new data came in. In addition to the oral accounts, the evidence includes a number of seized telephones, certain image material secured from mobile phones, certain excerpts from SMS conversations and notes from journals.
The suspect has so far made several admissions. He has been detained since the summer of 2022 and has been suspended from school since the summer of 2021.
– He sought help back in 2018 and has been in therapy and receiving medication. But it obviously hasn't helped. He admits to a case of rape and gross sexual assault, says lawyer Lars Almlöf who is the man's defender to SVT Nyheter Väst.
This means that the man continued to work as a teacher despite receiving treatment for pedophilia.
