the Current reign is going on sexual offences law reform.

– my Opinion is that it can be certainly some increase to the penalty scale, especially sexual crimes against children are concerned.

recently, the headlines have been rising cases of sexual crimes happen through the internet or the author has found a victim through the net.

Henriksson said that the legislative reform also internet the role of the criminal cases taken for review.

Yes, the law is that it is also possible that the rape occurred via internet. Also that is unfortunately seen, and through it is possibly also a connection to the victim, Henriksson said.

It’s that adults do such crimes internet children does not make the crime any less important. It is disgusting and very, very serious.

Henriksson does not know the answer to that, what kind of change to the law would require online dissemination of the material terms of, for example, in cases where the crime happens first and material later spread to the network.

– go to the fact that the reform of the criminal code use all the way through. It will be back.
