The Oulu police investigate sexual offenses against minors. Last week the Oulu District Court has been imprisoned two different sex offenders.
On Saturday, the police announced that they had initiated investigations into a serious sex crime against children. The seven foreigners who were suspected of doing the misdeeds were detained last Wednesday on the police’s insistence.
On the same day, a man who was a little more than 20 years old was detained for a very similar crime. The police suspects the man of aggravated rape and aggravated sexual child abuse.
There are two girls of about 14 years of age.
Chief Inspector Markus Kiiskinen, of the police Department of Oulu, says that sexual cases are not related.
Troubling alarm for the victims
According to Kiiskinen, the case of teenage victims has come to the attention of the police during autumn about a month ago.
The police got on the track of the suspect after being alarmed. The area is Oulu’s Tuira district.
– The police received a call, after which they went on to investigate the incident. The suspected crimes have been committed on the same day, which means it wasn’t a long-term incident, says Kiiskinen.
For investigative reasons, the police did not comment on whether the victims and the perpetrator were already known to each other.
The suspected man is still in detention. According to Kiiskinen, the incident is being resolved by an interrogation of the suspect. The preliminary investigation is ongoing. It is possible that the number of suspects will increase as the investigation progresses.
