Very creepy. A 20 year old U.S man (don't know why Sweden won't name a convicted criminal) has been sentenced for turning up outside a high school girl's house in Stockholm with all the tools for an abduction:
'....the American showed up outside her house in Stockholm. The man loitered in her family's driveway and then sat by the door. He had a rental car nearby, containing rope, cable tie wraps, and strong tape. He had a knife in his pocket, an empty gun holster on his hip, and an iron pipe in his hand.'
He said he only wanted 'some items' to remember her by.....Seems a very light sentence too. I wonder if this offense will show up in US records, when he's returned? It's a little worrying to think of the possible next girl...
'In July the man was sentenced to one year in prison and deportation from Sweden, not to return for at least ten years. The man must also pay the girl 14,000 kronor ($2,045) in damages.
Both the man and the girl have now appealed the sentence.'
