Swedish schools criticized for keeping alleged rapists in class

Swedish schools are facing criticism over student safety after a new investigation. Several students had to attend class alongside classmates who allegedly raped them. The schools knew about the police reports.

An investigation by Swedish Radio's P3 News revealed the situation. Multiple students reported being assaulted by a classmate. They filed formal reports with the police. However, their schools took no action to separate them.

One female student shared her experience with reporters. She had to attend her entire Year 9 spring semester with her alleged attacker. They remained in the same classroom every day, according to Swedish Radio.
