The Expo founder and former university lecturer Tobias Hübinette has been convicted of unlawful threats and two counts of molestation. Although the Stockholm District Court finds him guilty of all three offenses, there will be no prison sentence.

Samnytt previously reported that Hübinette had been charged on suspicion of sending a large number of messages to his partner and the father of her children. The messages contained both ruthless statements and threatening language intended to instill serious fear.

Later, Karlstad University reached an agreement with Hübinette that resulted in the termination of his employment at the university, something reported by, among others, SVT—who, however, chose to conceal the indictment against him. Samnytt has reported on this.

On Wednesday, the Stockholm District Court announced its verdict against the well-known left-wing researcher. The penalty is 150 daily fines of 260 kronor each, totaling 39,000 kronor. He must also pay 10,000 kronor in damages to one of the plaintiffs.

The court found that Hübinette, among other things, expressed a “boundless hatred” toward the individuals concerned and wrote that he would do everything to ruin their lives.

Furthermore, the court found that the messages constituted molestation of both plaintiffs as well as unlawful threats against one of them. Hübinette denied the crimes and claimed that the messages were not intended to threaten anyone, but the district court did not share this assessment.

At the same time, he was acquitted of the charge of unlawful threats against the second plaintiff, as the court found there was insufficient evidence that this person perceived the messages as frightening.

The verdict may be appealed to the Svea Court of Appeal no later than July 1.
