'Paedophile warning' note baffles Swedish town
"Several residents in Örebro, central Sweden, were shocked when they sorted through their post recently and found a detailed account of a child sex crime committed by one of their neighbours.
“Warning! This paedophile [sic] lives close to you and your children,” read the front page of the five-page document which held no information about the sender.
It contained extracts from district and Supreme Court proceedings pertaining to the case, reports local newspaper Nerikes Allehanda (NA).
The crime for which the man was convicted took place in the 1990s and resulted in a three-year prison sentence.
Having the crime described in detail led some residents in the central Sweden town to question the purpose of the handout.
“The crime that this person was convicted of was grotesque, but the sentence has been served and maybe they wanted to start over. For me, the question is when have you atoned your crime?” Susanne Engvall told the newspaper.
Some neighbours expressed concern that revealing so much detail about the crime was unfair to the victim."
