A verdict involving yet another sexual crime in elderly care has garnered significant attention. This concerns a Lebanese man working in Malmö’s home care service who stripped naked, unnecessarily showered an elderly woman, and touched her genital area. Merely months later, he was free again. Meanwhile, criticism of Malmö city is mounting following reports of inadequate background checks, language issues in elderly care, and internal attempts to delay police reports regarding suspected sexual crimes. Samnytt has interviewed the case’s most outspoken critic.

A home care employee from Lebanon was convicted in Malmö in 2024 for sexual assault against a 94-year-old woman following a widely noted case in elderly care. In the verdict, Malmö District Court describes how the Lebanese man, during a home visit, stripped naked, showered the woman without reason, touched her genital area, and asked if she wanted to “have sex” with him.

The court determined that the woman was in a “particularly vulnerable situation” because of her advanced age and her dependence on home care services. The court also stated that the man had “gravely exploited the trust that the home care service enjoys in relation to its users.”

The verdict against the man includes not just the sexual offense against the 94-year-old woman—he was also found guilty of benefit fraud, assault, and unlawful threats.

According to the verdict, he had systematically collected unemployment benefits while working, and in another case, he attacked a man at a Malmö gym with a chokehold, punches, and threats of deadly violence. Police who encountered him described him as “extremely unstable” and aggressive.

He went in and worked in home care as an assistant, with no training, no qualification. He was there alone with her. And he committed absolutely vile acts—I don’t even want to go into the details. If these people had been sent back to their home countries—because they have no business here—then at least Swedes would have had some kind of redress for all the assaults they subject our people to.

Nils Littorin (Malmölistan)

Nils Littorin is a physician and leader of the local opposition party Malmölistan, which has quickly emerged as one of the sharpest critics of Malmö’s recent developments. He reacted strongly to the short prison sentence the man received. After just a few months, he was out again.

Over the years, Littorin has become known for his harsh criticism of the municipality’s handling of migration, crime, education, and elderly care—issues he believes are interconnected in a larger systemic crisis facing the city.

In social media and public appearances, Littorin has repeatedly highlighted problems within elderly care, including language deficiencies, inadequate supervision, and cases where elderly individuals have been subjected to abuse or neglect.

Nils Littorin reacts especially to the fact that the man could work alone in home care despite, in his view, lacking both education and any relevant qualifications for the job. He describes the situation as an extreme breach of trust where an elderly and defenseless woman was left alone with someone later convicted of sexually assaulting her in her own home.

– If these people had been sent back to their home countries—because they have no business here—then at least Swedes would have had some kind of redress for all the assaults they subject our people to. The doctor continues:

– But we don’t get that, they get to stay. After ten months in prison, he’s out again, living it up. As far as I know, he works in something else now, but can of course, at any time, go back into municipal welfare and get a job again, since background checks are completely inadequate.

Littorin argues that the problems can’t be dismissed as isolated incidents or a matter of a few individuals. In his view, there are deeper structural issues related to recruitment, integration policy, and cultural differences. He claims that unsuitable individuals are being allowed into roles in schools and elderly care, despite working with some of society’s most vulnerable groups.

At the same time, he believes that many of the sexual crimes and assaults noted in elderly care often, according to him, have links to men from the Middle East, Afghanistan, and similar countries—something he says reflects differing views on women, power, and boundaries.

Stripped Naked and Touched the Woman With His Penis

The verdict shows that the woman had already been showered earlier in the day by her regular care worker. But later that afternoon, the Lebanese man reportedly showed up at her home alone and told her she was to shower again.

The woman describes how the man then stripped naked in front of her and washed her genital area with his bare hands before asking if she wanted to “have sex” with him.

When the woman raised the alarm, the same man is alleged to have returned to the apartment and told her there was “no point” in calling anyone, as he was in charge of her care that evening anyway.

The court also points out that the man gave the woman her sedative medication several hours earlier than scheduled, which the court suggests could have been an attempt to prevent attention from being drawn to what had happened.

The District Court’s ruling also states:

Based on the evidence in the case, the court is therefore convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that NN […] followed her into the bedroom, where he touched her back with his erect penis through a bath towel.

Littorin believes this case reveals something bigger about how elderly care works in Malmö today.

– It’s absolutely insane that people just pick someone random from the street and send them in alone with severely ill elderly people. They are given keys to their homes. This is a person who can enter your home. What fear. What terror. What helplessness!

He repeatedly returns to the fact that elderly people are completely dependent on those who are allowed into their homes.

Has Malmö municipality tried to cover up what happened?

– Yes, absolutely. I asked Malmö municipality two, three weeks ago what measures they have taken or plan to take to prevent further rapes. They responded to me with deafening silence. Littorin continues:

– Which means they don’t intend to take any action. They prioritize using elderly care as a sort of integration tool, to improve unemployment figures for the immigrant population. And that is extremely cynical. He continues:

– These are Swedish politicians doing this, Anders Rubin is the Social Democrat responsible for this.

It looks like the municipal operation conducted its own interrogations and investigations—how do you comment on that?

– Yes, instead of making an immediate police report, they conduct an internal investigation that delays the police’s work for two weeks—and, of course, gives the accused an opportunity to fine-tune his story and prepare himself. He clarifies:

– They have indeed obstructed the investigation, possibly to cover up the whole affair. And these individuals are not competent to perform police investigations.

Does the municipality do this to cover its own back?

– Yes, absolutely. Malmö municipality is notorious for things like this, everyone knows there’s a desire to silence what’s going on.

The Problems Also Extend to Schools

In the interview, Nils Littorin raises a previous case in Malmö which he believes shows how the municipality, in his view, tries to handle sensitive abuse issues internally instead of acting openly and immediately.

He describes a male teacher at a Malmö school who, reportedly over several years, groped boys and had what are described as “favorite boys.” According to Littorin, there were repeated warnings and complaints from both parents and staff before the matter became public.

Littorin claims the school spent a long time conducting its own internal investigations despite the information, in his view, being well known within the operation. He also says there was documentation of complaints and reports, but that the teacher was still allowed to keep working at the school.

Only after Sydsvenskan reported on the matter years later (link) and after Littorin himself drew public attention to the case by visiting the school and publishing material did the municipality act.

Littorin claims the case illustrates a broader pattern of Malmö City’s attempts to protect its institutions and avoid public attention concerning scandals.

He claims that in the specific case, the municipality ultimately chose to pay off the teacher instead of openly disclosing what had happened. According to Littorin, this is the same type of conduct he now sees in the handling of sexual crimes within elderly care.

First, they bring in people who should never have been involved with elderly care. Then they fail to protect the elderly. And when the abuses do occur, they try to protect the organization and delay police work. That’s how I see it.

Nils Littorin (Malmölistan)

– They protect these rotten apples to the last moment. And when it can no longer be hidden, when it becomes public, then they pay them off. They practically reward them, with half a million kronor or similar.

“The Social Democratic Leadership Is Complicit in Rape”

You mentioned the term integration tool—does that apply to both schools and elderly care today, in your view?

– Yes, these are vulnerable groups and in fact, the last ones they should have contact with. How could schools and elderly care become places where you don’t need any education to work—and don’t need to speak Swedish? He continues:

– As a doctor, I have called nursing homes and attempted to communicate with the staff, but it’s impossible. They don’t understand Swedish. And that’s dangerous.

Does this also apply in terms of medication?

– Yes, the Swedish language is essential in healthcare. If you don’t speak Swedish, you will mishear, mispronounce—and mistakes will be made.

He believes that the nursing profession today is in decline as a result—and that Malmö city could introduce concrete measures to reduce the risk of abuse in elderly care already today.

– You could introduce language tests today. Women could be given the right to choose the gender of the person helping them shower. Visits could be carried out by two people in certain cases. These are simple, common-sense measures. But they’re not taken.

How much responsibility does the Social Democratic leadership in Malmö bear for these cases continuing to come up?

– They bear 100 percent responsibility. They are complicit in sexual assaults and rapes, by not doing anything to prevent them. They have the power to act, but do absolutely nothing.

More Assaults and Degrading Robberies

Meanwhile, yet another suspected sexual crime in Malmö home care is being investigated. According to Sydsvenskan, a woman in her 80s is suspected to have been raped by a man from the home care service in her home.

The case gained widespread attention after it emerged that Malmö city, once again, waited over two weeks before filing a police report. In the meantime, the municipality reportedly held its own talks with the suspected man before police and prosecutors were involved.

Prosecutor Veronika Edvinsson openly criticized the municipality’s actions, telling Sydsvenskan that the handling risked impacting the investigation.

– It would be better if the municipality first consulted with police and prosecutors before conducting its own investigation and speaking to the suspect.

For Nils Littorin, these developments show the issue is no longer about isolated scandals, but something deeper.

– First, they bring in people who should never have been involved with elderly care. Then they fail to protect the elderly. And when the abuses do occur, they try to protect the organization and delay police work. That’s how I see it.

Towards the end of the interview, Nils Littorin returns to what he describes as a growing sense of insecurity, even among many families with children in Malmö. He says he increasingly meets parents who no longer want their children in municipal schools where Swedish students are a minority.

According to Littorin, the concern is not just about disruptions or discipline problems but about a deeper worry linked to violence, degrading robberies, and an aggressive attitude toward others—especially women and vulnerable groups.

He also points out that people of ethnic Swedish background are now a minority in Malmö and believes the city’s demographic changes have left a clear mark on both schools and social climate.

For him, developments in schools, elderly care, and public life are parts of the same major societal shift in Malmö.
