A Stockholm gynecologist faces rape allegations following his arrest this week. Authorities confirm a female patient reported assault during a medical examination at his private clinic.
The alleged assault occurred on Monday according to official documents. Prosecutor Paulina Pilati stated, "A woman was affected, but I won't comment further on their relationship."
Court records show the doctor's practice generated nearly four million Swedish kronor last year. His personal salary exceeded one million kronor. The clinic operates under contract with Stockholm's public healthcare system.
This marks the doctor's second sexual misconduct investigation. Police previously investigated rape allegations in 2023 but closed the case.
Another patient filed a separate complaint in February with Sweden's Health and Social Care Inspectorate. She reported sexual abuse during a gynecological examination.
The doctor defended his methods in an official response. He claimed to examine younger women with particular care and treated her identically to other patients. He questioned how patients without medical training could challenge an experienced specialist's methods.
His defense included the prosecutor's decision to drop the previous rape investigation.
Regulatory scrutiny isn't new for this practitioner. The health inspectorate previously investigated him for issuing sick certificates without patient consultations. Inspectors found medication prescription errors in fourteen separate cases.
Earlier this year, authorities sought a three-year probation period against his medical license. They cited demonstrated incompetence in his professional practice.
The inspectorate had twice previously sanctioned him for inadequate medical record keeping and careless certificate issuance.
This case reveals ongoing challenges in regulating private healthcare providers operating within Sweden's public system. The doctor's continued practice despite multiple red flags raises questions about oversight effectiveness.
