An Afghan migrant who told police he was “so horny” and “just wanted to have sex” has been charged with the aggravated rape of an 18-year-old woman delivering post in Västerås.
Mohsen Asghari, 26, who arrived in Sweden in 2012 as an unaccompanied minor and was granted Swedish citizenship in 2016, has confessed to the attack, which took place in broad daylight on July 4 this year.
According to court documents seen by the Samnytt news outlet, the victim — a summer worker for Postnord — was on her delivery round alone that morning, driving a small Postnord-marked moped. She was unaware that Asghari had been tailing her in a white van for several minutes prior to the attack.
Shortly before 11 a.m., she stopped outside an apartment building to deliver letters. After riding the lift to the top floor, she began her deliveries, working her way down the floors. When she reached the ground floor, Asghari confronted her, blocking the exit and pulling out a knife. Initially, she thought she was being robbed and pleaded with him not to hurt her, telling him she had a family.
Instead, Asghari ordered her to “come with me” and forced her into a corner of the stairwell at knifepoint, where he made her sit on the floor before raping her. He then fled to his van and drove off.
The shocked victim managed to alert building staff, who contacted her father and a colleague. At first, unable to speak about what had happened, she eventually told them she had been raped.
Police soon identified Asghari after he dropped a cap at the scene, which matched one seen in CCTV footage from a nearby shop. He was also wearing a blue Avesta AIK sports jacket, the local football team, which the club confirmed was an old design once worn by a team that had included several Afghan players. Investigators matched him from old team photos.
When questioned, Asghari openly admitted to the crime, saying he had followed the young woman because “she is a girl and she is pretty” and that “my brain was so horny, I just wanted to have sex.” He claimed he had been feeling unwell before and after the rape and had considered suicide.
Asghari is now facing trial for aggravated rape. Due to his Swedish citizenship, he cannot be deported if convicted.
The inability to deport foreign criminals who have become naturalized has made multiple headlines in recent months in Sweden. In June, an Iranian serial rapist was jailed for six years in Sweden for multiple sexual assaults, but won’t be deported due to the legal loophole.
Similarly, Somali-born Baasim Yusuf was sentenced to eight years in prison back in January for brutal sexual assaults on elderly women in his care, but due to holding Swedish citizenship since 2018, he cannot be deported despite the severity of his crimes.
Even those who could in theory be deported are often handed a reprieve via the courts. Last week, A 25-year-old Afghan drug addict who has racked up a lengthy criminal record had his deportation order overturned by the Svea Court of Appeal.
Ali Suleimani, who arrived in the country during the 2015 migrant crisis, committed more than 20 criminal offenses, including theft, assault, vandalism, and drug crimes, but the appellate court ruled the offenses were not serious enough to justify his deportation, considering he had lived in Sweden for nine years.
A report published by a research group at Lund University earlier this year showed that between the years of 2000 and 2020, 63.1 percent of all those convicted of rape, aggravated rape, or attempted rape were first or second-generation immigrants.
