The victim's book must prove the virginity of the cultural profile

In November 2017, 18 women from Dagens Nyheter testified about how they were exposed to sexual abuse and abuse of the so-called cultural profile, a man with close ties to the Swedish Academy. He denies the crimes and some parts of the pre-trial conference will be uploaded later. In June, however, he is prosecuted for two rape cases.

A deep crack occurs when a lawyer's investigation reveals the association of the cultural profile with members. Peter Englund, Kjell Espmark and Klas Östergren leave their seats.

On June 12, the so-called cultural profile is prosecuted for two rape cases. The lawsuit concerns two cases involving a woman in Stockholm in 2011.

In August, Sara Danius, Kjell Espmark and Peter Englund announced that they could think of "possibly" participating in the invasion of new members.

In September, the Academy holds its first regular meeting for the fall season. Suppose a new comment on the city, published on September 14th.
