“Big Brother” – Sonia in nightclub fight
Big Brother participant Sonia Kamau partied on Friday night at hotspot Berns, Stockholm. But the evening ended in a brawl with the guards, and Sonia was forced yesterday to go to the hospital.
– I’m going to file a police report against them. I will not be able to move this arm for several weeks, says Sonia Kamau.
Last week Sonia Kamau left the “Big Brother” house. On Friday, she partied with several friends and former participant Rodney da Silva on the inside floor of Berns, Stockholm. But after being told she was too drunk to stay, Sonia Kamau thrown was thrown out.
This was after having thrown a glass of ice on the floor. Outside, she appealed to the security guards to get back in to retrieve her jacket and other belongings which a male friend had. According to Sonia, they refused and instead shouted to her in a language she did not understand.
– Then I became angry. If you have something to say, say it to my face instead of going away, I told them, says Sonia Kamau.
– Then a guard took a grip and threw me on the ground. It was totally sick. He pulled everything he could, she continues.
Sonia was then taken to a room with four guards while waiting for police. After the police arrived she was released.
– They said the guards would not report me to the police. I wanted to notify the police but said I would call in the next morning (read: yesterday). I took a taxi home completely devastated and just cried. “I could not get out of bed in the morning”, says Sonia.
She went to the hospital yesterday, but after an X-ray she found nothing was broken. She however bled in the shoulder after muscle tearing.
– I will not be able to move the arm normally for several weeks. I’ll make a police report tonight, said Sonia on Saturday night.
Per Sandberg, head of security at Berns, has a different view of the event. According to him, a police report for vandalism has been filed against Sonia as she had torn the clothes of several guards.
– It is not true, or quite far from it, she said. The guards said she had made both verbal and physical resistance. She was taken care of after she had thrown herself into the ropes barring entry and attacked one of the guards.
– The reason why she was taken to this room as she calls it, is because there is a camera there, said Per Sandberg.
City police would not comment on the matter since there is an ongoing investigation.

About the Author
Sonia Kamau has not learned any lesson. If she did not learn anything from her parents then the World will teach her a very big lesson and later the word I wish will surface for the memory.Anyway she is grown up person.
Recently, Kenyan-born Stella Mwangi was in the European press and TV for her singing talent and was the first African to represent Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest. Her singing talent was inspired by her grandmother and her parents. She has now carved a niche and her songs have appeared in famous Hollywood films and television shows.
Around the same time in Stockholm, Kenyans were being treated to the participation of Kenyan-born Sonia Kamau, in Big Brother. Now her father claims she is a celebrity. Was it for commiting fornication, drinking excessively, deep-throat kissing with women or sleeping around with Rodney the criminal? Sonia cannot make a career out of BB because once kicked out, that is it!
Stella Mwangi will continue enjoying royalties out of her songs and no matter how hard the Eurovision strutures are in terms of not favoring others, she will continue with her singing and earn a living. If she does not indulge in other stupid acts, she will remain a respectable young lady in entertainment. I hope she keeps up the good image to succeed further.
As for Sonia, she chose to join BB because she is 18+, so let her live with its consequences. Appearing on Youtube with a bunch of girlfriends to talk about her stay in BB might be the only most famous she can get.
“Freedom” in Sweden has destroyed so many of our Kenyan youngsters who think small-time activities will get them fame. No, instead it is the 9am-5pm hard work that can guarantee one’s economic security. Serious Swedes know that BB is nothing but cheap entertainment, that is why it is shown much later on TV, from 22:00.
It is not too late for Sonia, at 22 years, to wake up from her drunken stupor and to turn around from group mentality, into a positive social individual. BB has portrayed her in many negative ways, in my opinion. If only she could stop swinging around hoping to be praised for having been in BB, she could do more interesting things.
At the BB house, Sonia wasn’t disciplined and had to be reminded by the organizers so many times, to place her microphone properly. Take your time to read the Swedish nasty comments about her personality, yet others had the stomach to question Osewe’s article about morals and ethics.

Holly Marcaroni! I have just gathered that Sonia’s mother also participated in the comments at the BB website.Read her comment in Swedish here:

The best praise Sonia got from one viewer was that they thought she was sweet, so named their hen “Sonia”. so much for a celebrity, according to her father, Dick Kamau.
Big Brother Rodney arrested at Stureplan – on suspicion of drug offenses
On the night of Friday, Rodney da Silva was arrested at a Stureplan pub known as The Soap Bar. After the Sieg Heil (Nazi salute) scandal in Big Brother, Rodney da Silva is once again under fire – in a non-reality show. On the night of Friday, the 23-year-old was arrested by police on suspicion of drug offenses.
Together with several other Big Brother participants, Rodney started partying at the pub Schnapps. The Reality gang then went to the restaurant inside The Soap Bar.
But friends had barely began a festive night at the Stureplan restaurant before a special team of police dealing with restaurant incidents struck.
Plainclothes investigators quickly suspected that Rodney da Silva was under the influence of drugs. Shortly after 23:00, they chose to confront him.
– We saw immediately that he was affected by drugs, as reported by an eye-witness earlier to Nyheter24.
Notorious Rodney da Silva was taken to a private room, where he provided a urine sample. The police also took the television star to the police station for a body search.
When Nyheter24 on Sunday contacted Rodney da Silva, he was reluctant to discuss the incident:
– I do not know what you’re talking about, said Rodney da Silva.
Although Rodney da Silva is suspected of minor drug offenses, he is invited to Sunday’s Big Brother to read out the final result.

Kenyan “Stockholmers”, please please encourage this young woman’s parents to have her evaluated xxxx xxx xxx.
TRY TO HELP HER!
Mike #5, the father has declared Kenyans should not police her daughter on morals, because we have none and our country Kenya is bankrupt of such. How then do we help her? Somebody already wrote yesterday that “Asiyelelewa na Mamaye Ulelewa na Ulimwangu”. Let nature take its course while Dick Kamau can keep praising his now “famous and celebrity” daughter.
Dick Kamau is Sonias Father So Sonia Move Forward and Love whoever loves you & You know love is blind & he he ha!
Swedes will hug and part Sonia in the back praising her role in BB: “Hej gumman”, but the moment she turns her back it will be: “Jävla invandrare” how could she do such hideous things on TV? Sonia chose her path and should continue doing so if it gives her satisfaction. She is the best judge of her character.
KBS, As much as I would like to be left out of this forum’s moral self appointed police,and some of their rasist comments calling my daughter names, I would like the writers to first respect themselves by using words that are not meant to depict Swedes as immoral people or racists.
Since I came to Swedn 1993 I have been walking across the country and to my disappointment I have never met a black or a white angel in the streets of Stockholm or elsewhere in Europe or in Africa. What I have been seeing are just human, some free souls and others prisoners of their mind. Such persons are the moralists and rasists among us. We all have different oppinions about life. But THE MORAL POLICE prejudices should be CONFINED IN THE DUSTBINS OF LESSER MINDS. And if they find an angel among themselves they can let the rest of us human beings get to know. Otherwise If my daughter is said to have been drunk, what is alcohol meant to do? Please stop preaching your confused moralism to Sonia. Watch over your daughters and your selves first and leave my beautiful daughter alone. She has better things to do now she is a celeb. Mind your own business dear African.
And by the way am in the process of taking legal action agaist the guards or anyone who crosses my daughter’s parth. The Swedish law is clear, any online name caller will face Sonia’s DAD legal action without any reservations. Mark my strong words.
KSB: Ndugu Dick, thanks for pointing out that no one is an angel. When the comments were closed at KSB for two years, readers complained and accused the blog’s Administrators of dictatorship, muzzling of both freedom of speech and expression. This section is now open and this is what we have. It is regretable that anonymous commentators sometimes pass unpalatable comments but that has become part of life in cyberspace and KSB is not alone. Freedom loving people should stand by your daughter to enjoy her freedom to live her life the way she wants even if they disagree with how she lives it.
If you appear on public TV,be prepared to get the public reaction and public comments.Sonia saying Yes to the national Tv means be ready to be nationally analysed. If you continue fighting around you are potraying how rude you are.But if you leave your life with no chaos around you,despite what you did or did not do in BB,the better.Study former BB participants,those who keep on taking drugs and alkoholists and those who have kept “to the right”.My hope is you live “right” and your chances are bigger,keep fighting in the clubs then face the weird comments.
Oh, the great Dick Kamau, you seem not to give up. Yes, press legal charges against the so-called moral Kenya-Stockholm police. And while at it, add all the racist comments by Swedes online. Good luck!!!
Dick Kamau keep it up. You are battling a brick wall. You should be your age and keep off fueling the already blazing faya. You claimed your daughter is 18+ and can do whatever she wants, so whatz the beefb when readers only dwell upon public info about her?
Sue and sue kabisa Dick Kamau. The proof is in the pudding, right there under your nose.
Big Brother: the series that made surveillance acceptable
The TV show, which started life in the Netherlands in 1999, began life as a game of survival and popularity under the eyes of total-surveillance cameras. Would people crumple under the pressure of being watched 24 hours a day, while they slept, ate, chatted, argued, picked their noses, flirted, fornicated and washed themselves? Would being cooped up with a dozen strangers of different ages and walks of life, lead to exciting clashes of temperament? The prospect of winning a large cash prize was supposed to be a spur to good behaviour, as the housemates strove to avoid being evicted from the house by a combination of peer hatred and viewer dislike.
With the benefit of hindsight, we can see that, for a decade, we’ve engaged in a shameless combination of voyeurism, lab-rat inspection, prurience and moral condemnation, as we’ve watched a Bedlam of egomaniacs, exhibitionists, dunderheads, sex fiends, liars, fantasists, mentally unstable and existentially challenged victims chat and bitch and canoodle with each other, perform degrading tasks and lay their lives and their (sometimes toxic, sometimes pathetic) personalities bare for our enjoyment. How proud we must be of ourselves.
In the early days, the nation was gripped; viewers talked about the housemates as if they were friends, or acquaintances, or were established stars with fascinating lives.
There was “Nasty Nick” who passed secret messages to his fellow housemates until he was exposed by the first-ever winner, Craig (memorably described by an online commentator as “poncing about as if he’s got his white van keys stuck up his arse”) and Brian the gay Ulsterman and airline trolley dolly with a tongue that could clip a hedge, and Nadia the Madeiran transsexual who liked to wear six-inch heels in the shower (“Go Nads!” her supporters used to shout ambiguously outside the BB House), and Pete the Tourette’s sufferer with the engaging facial tics and the uncontrollable swearing, and, among a crowded field of ditzy young women, the birdbrained Helen Adams who tended to vocalise any thought that entered her head, including the immortal: “I like blinking, I do!” There was a certain dental nurse from Bermondsey who pronounced East Anglia “East Angular” and shouted, during a striptease drinking game: “Me kebab’s showing!” Fans will recall with sweaty palms the astonishingly rude series five, in which a 24-year-old Zimbabwean cardiac nurse called Makosi had sex in a foaming Jacuzzi with a Geordie dancer called Anthony and coolly asked Big Brother next day for a morning-after pill, and a half-Kuwaiti, half-Polish woman called Kinga pleasured herself in the garden with an empty rosé wine bottle, a coup de théâtre later voted Most Shocking Moment in the show’s history.
The most genuinely shocking thing about Big Brother, however, is how casually we accepted its dubious strategies. Each year, we tacitly agreed to watch a dozen or so strangers being manipulated by an all-seeing authority, forced to dress up and make idiots of themselves, denied food and drink on a whim, then plied with drink in the hope that they’d behave without inhibitions, and forced to shower in their underwear and defecate without locks on the doors. Did we know that they had their luggage inspected, as though by HM Customs, and weren’t allowed to bring watches (so they wouldn’t know the time when waking in the pitch-dark bedroom) or pens or other writing materials, including eyebrow pencil? Did we know (or care) that when technicians came onto the set to make adjustments, the housemates were “locked down” in their bedrooms, with the curtains drawn but with a klaxon sounding in case anybody fell asleep? General Pinochet would have nodded approvingly at such firm arrangements. And as for the housemates’ conversations – did we realise that the nightly “highlights” of the day’s action were heavily edited, to show certain housemates in a good, and some in a bad, light? That actual “reality” was kept at arm’s length in this reality TV show? If we witnessed a “live stream” of genuine, as-it-happens action from the BB kitchen or living-room, the Endemol producers carefully used the sounds of birds twittering to drown out any deviation from the kind of chat they wanted us to hear. Did no alarm sound in our heads, saying, They’re stopping us hearing what these people are really talking about …
Along with the censorship and manipulation, we might have felt uncomfortable about our Peeping Tom role, as contestants succumbed to lust and, in 2004, Michelle Bass and Stuart Wilson, after some prolonged negotiation, disappeared under a table to have sex, protected from view by a single sheet. The nation’s bookmakers had already offered odds on who would participate in the first “Big Brother bonk”.
Some viewers wondered about the breezy presentation of housemates with mental illness. We were encouraged to regard Pete Bennett, the Tourette’s syndrome sufferer, as a boyish charmer with some odd affectations of behaviour, and Nikki Grahame – a disturbed anorexic with mental health issues and one suicide bid behind her – as an “feisty” and argumentative young woman who ranted hysterically (but so amusingly) when denied mineral water, rather than as someone on the edge of cracking up.
What started life as a game show about charm and interaction had become something else: the spectacle of handicapped or unhinged people disporting themselves for the amusement of bored and prurient viewers.
Occasionally, critical voices were raised by ex-participants. “I think reality TV programmes do a lot of damage,” said Vanessa Feltz, who starred in the first Celebrity Big Brother. “Nothing prepares you for the scrutiny and incarceration and worrying what people might think of you and trying to survive all at once. Believe me it was extremely intense and a most unnerving thing.” Kinga Karolczak, she of the rosé wine bottle, told the press that she had been forced by the programme makers to behave outrageously and was plied with drink and offered free cigarettes if she agreed to walk around the BB house topless.
Germaine Greer, who did most to alert the public about the reality of the show, wrote that “the whole point of Big Brother is that he is a bully”, and itemised the levels of dirt and degradation to which the contestants, including herself, were subjected. She described the lavatory conditions and the “combination of cruelty and incompetence” that induced bladder and bowel malfunctions – not to mention the vomiting, the incubation of bacteria, the botulism, the shivering and night-sweats. “As reality television series multiply across the networks,” she concluded, “they will become increasingly sadistic and prurient. The only way forward for ordeal by television is down, which in [Orwellian] Newspeak is of course up, towards maximum exploitation of vulnerable people.”
Five years later, that hasn’t happened. Instead of ramping up the exploitation, Big Brother is quietly dying away. A combination of dull housemates and viewer disaffection has affected viewing figures. “Is anyone still watching that thing?” is an often-heard question. But something else has happened to us in the last decade, something loosely connected to Big Brother and its queasy record of manipulation, histrionics and boredom. We have become inveterate watchers of each other.
Just as BB contestants once used the Diary Room to confide their inner feelings to a notional superior (and judge of their actions), millions now offer their daily, sometimes hourly, two-penn’orth of news and wisdom to the outside world via Facebook and Twitter. Once, we’d come home from work and watch BB housemates cooking dinner and worrying about how long they should cook the pasta. It wasn’t great drama, but we watched it anyway. Now we tweet each other with similarly gripping news of what we’re having for supper and how we’re cooking it. No specialised area of human life, no tiny detail of behaviour, is now so trivial that we won’t report it to each other with high seriousness, as if it were a dispatch from a war zone.
And in the intervening years, we’ve quietly become a nation of housemates, endlessly spied on by authorities and by businesses. Today, if you call 999 to report a crime, you’ll have your details instantly logged on a secret database that mingles the names of criminals with those of victims and members of the public, and your name will be kept there for 15 years, practically begging to be involved in a disastrous mix-up. Today, if you open a pub, the police will try to install CCTV in it to keep tabs on the drinkers. If you, the landlord, complain that you don’t like this intrusion upon your customers’ privacy, you could lose your licence. Other kinds of surveillance don’t involve the police, but are just as creepy. Try buying any goods online today, and you’ll find yourself pursued around the Internet by advertisers who know your details and buying preferences remarkably well, because they’ve bought them from monitoring agencies.
The most alarming fall-out from Big Brother, however, is that it has ushered in a surveillance society, to which everyone contributes. Earlier this year, a comedian friend reported that, on his journey home from a day at the BBC in London, a total stranger on the train pulled out his iPhone and showed him that his every move, every meeting, every conversation, practically every comfort break, had been followed by Twitter users. They’d been keeping an eye out for my friend when his train arrived at Waterloo; on the Tube to Shepherd’s Bush; in the BBC car park; in the BBC canteen. I wrote about it – and soon learned from other half-famous people with similar complaints. One had looked himself up on a Twitter site and found: “My movements over the last five days, and that of my wife and child as we went to and from Brighton for three days of work, were all intimately tracked, as was our weekend in London. Two different tweets from the same London café observed my three-year-old mistakenly taking another child’s milk bottle from a pram … ”
Public recognition has brought with it a culture of surveillance that’s close to stalking. Once, celebrities might have worried about journalists and paparazzi. Now, everyone’s a reporter and broadcaster and they can say anything about anyone, without rules. That’s the real legacy of Big Brother. The surveyed have become the surveyors. “Them” has become “Us.” Ten years of watching human guinea pigs and lab-rats at close quarters, living out their three-month imprisonment in a prefabricated hell, has given us a taste for prying into each other’s lives and dramatising the trivial details of our own, while making everything public on electronic screens. And while this is going on, we’re blithely ignoring the steady erosion of our privacy by government, police and business.
Perhaps it is part of the deal you make about living in a surveillance society – that eventually, you embrace all its incarnations. Perhaps, like Winston Smith at the end of Orwell’s masterpiece, we’ve finally given in. We love Big Brother.

Does Dick Kamau know what being “judged in the public eye” means? Once his daughter appeared in a drunken state in public, and was reported in Swedish newspapers, then BANG, comments had to follow. Attempts to muzzle the free press will not work for Dick Kamau. This is public info and anyone is free to comment on it, as per the Swedish freedom of expression.
“The Swedish law is clear, any online name caller will face Sonia’s DAD legal action without any reservations.”
Dick Kamau, just scroll through the website of BB and you will be shocked at some horrible Swedish comments listed about your daughter Sonia Kamau, already at the start of her participation in the program.
Wacha kututisha hapa KSb eti wajuwa sheria za Kiswidi on how to sue. you should have begun that process then. Stop wasting your time just because this saga is now rolling on a Kenyan dominated blog. Go ahead and sue Flashback commentators, and other sites. Those are written by I believe, Swedes in Swedish, yet you seem to think they are holier than Africans, whom you seem to have low regard for.
“Swedish morality and all the acts that come with it”. What can Dick Kamau say about the story below?
Swedish man accused of sex with sheep
Published: 20 May 11 08:49 CET
A Swedish man in his fifties who was allegedly caught having sex with a sheep near Alingsås in western Sweden denies being guilty of animal cruelty.
In the beginning of June last year a sheep farmer and his wife heard a curious bleating sound from one of the farm’s pastures. When they went to investigate they were shocked to find a man engaged in sexual conduct with one of the ewes.
“This is an unusual case. Earlier it would have been classified as bestiality but nowadays it is seen as cruelty to animals,” Tomas Tell of the police told daily Göteborgsposten (GP).
The witness reports are in themselves not enough to convict the man of cruelty to animals.
Therefore a specialist veterinary surgeon has been called in from the Swedish Board of Agriculture (Jordbruksverket) as an expert witness.
“Because there were no visible injuries the prosecutor must be able to prove that the ewe has suffered from the unpleasant event,” Tell told GP.
At the trial the specialist will be heard on the subject of sheep physiology and behaviour. But according to GP, the main issue will be whether the ewe has suffered any lasting distress due to sexual abuse or not.
The farmers will have to testify as to what they witnessed the man do with their grazing livestock and the police officer that apprehended the culprit will also be heard during the trial.
Sex crimes against animals have been reported to be on the rise in Sweden earlier this year with an increase in reported cases of sexual mutilation of horses and other livestock.
The man denies the charges, despite the witnesses’ claim to have caught him in the act. If found guilty he could be sentenced to anything from a fine to two years in prison.

I do think the mindset of liberals is stupid and foolish — I mean that literally. Your way of thinking runs contrary to common sense. I hope you realize that after society slides into total decadence, the world will not be fit to live in.
If you want a remedy, it is this: Return to the model of traditional marriage and family — healthy heterosexual marriages — monogamy within marriage — no living together without marriage — no approval of singles having sex with this one and that one and that one over there — raise children in healthy homes where mom and dad love one another and their children and are not abusive.
Learn the meaning of the words HONOR, INTEGRITY, FAITHFULNESS, HIGH IDEALS, PERSONAL SACRIFICE, DUTY, OBLIGATION, etc. Those are not words in the liberal vocabulary, because liberalism is based on irresponsibility and narcissism. It’s about “I want what I want and I want it now.”
Dick Kamau, a generally accepted meaning of ther word “celebrity” is:
“A celebrity, also referred to as a celeb in popular culture, is a person who has a prominent profile in the media and is easily recognised. Celebrity status might be associated with certain professions and frequent appearances in the media. It can arise as a result of career planning but it can also arise by accident or as a result of infamy (which is notoriety gained from a negative incident or reputation)”.
So where does Sonia fit in the description?
Meaning of a wannabe: “A “wannabe” (slang for “want to be”) is a person with an ambition to be someone or something that she/he is not. The term is pejorative and intends to convey the foolish nature of the desire due to the incompetence of the “wannabe” to accomplish the goal”.
KSB, some of the commentators on Sonia issue here are being misled by their own egos and hate attitude. The only thing I wanted to make clear here is that my daughter is a free soul. The moralists and other hate mongers are allover out there and now in here. They too have the right to comment on my daughter and also allow me to comment on their intention of defaming others not of their mind circle. In fact I have nothing personal against Swedes mentioned as racists
here or the one said to have done something wrong to an animal.
Iam not a policeman nor a judge to judge him right or wrong. In Kenya especially in the west of Kenya many stories have been heard where even chicken are victims. That does not make Kenyans immoral. IN Sweden the laws are very clear when it come to racial victimization and only cases reported to police get acted on in accordance with the laws of the land. To me, moral police should confine their policing to their families if any. In Europe there is no more such a thing as privacy and that is why I said Every home in Europe and other continents is a BB and that does not leave Kenyans in Sweden out of the game. What I said in another comment is that angelic beings does not live among us humans leave alone Kenyans in KENYA or abroad.
I wish some of you would instill cameras in your homes, then you could thereafter morally condemn the rest of us by proving you are an angel in the house. MOrals, outdated cultures are dead and burried and no amount of name calling or prayers will bring it back in Europe, Africa and the world. Anything else in the name of African culture and traditions is heresy and hypocrisy. Lets us be and let others be. Sonia’s Dad.
Dick Kamau, you just don’t seem to get it, that being repetitive shows your redundancy of thoughts. The topic has been exhausted enough it’s not juicy anymore.
Many commentators have written that Sonia can do what she wants, so don’t come here condemning them. Sonia is 18+ and nobody cares coz it won’t add ugali to our tables. Let her handle herself the way she is already doing in pubs and as we saw in BB.
Utasema on her behalf, then soon will give up, and KSB will also soon have a more tasty story than your daughter’s. Spend time promoting her for the next big 500,000kr program. With a bit of discipline, she might win you an early pension.
Mzee Kamau anamuda kweli sweating off writing to protect his daughter. She is 22 years old and following her path, not an under 18 year old. KSB readers will write as he keeps adding his mind. He now writes about haters yet people are only following the stated facts available in the Swedish media about Sonia.
Dick Kamau, sample this one about a top Swedish morality and ethics expert:
Swedish Police Expert on Morality and Ethics Jailed for Pimping and Rape
by Sarah Parker · August 04, 2010
Earlier this year, former Swedish police chief Göran Lindberg was arrested on suspicion of raping several women and planning to rape a child. Lindberg, who was an expert on morality and ethics and traveled the country, and the world, lecturing on equality and human trafficking prevention, later saw allegations of sex trafficking, pimping, and paying for sex added to the indictments. The trafficking ring allegation was later dropped, but he was found guilty on 17 out of 23 charges, including aggravated rape, rape, pimping, and paying prostitutes for sex.
Lindberg’s illegal activities were first suspected during an investigation into a suspicious death in a Stolkholm suburb in July 2009. His name appeared in some incriminating files on a computer linked to the case and he was eventually arrested on January 25th, 2010, at a hotel in Northern Sweden, where he was believed to be grooming an underage girl for rape and sexual exploitation.
Actual pimping, several more rapes, and other sexual exploitation came to light about a month later. Sweden was rocked by the news as this man was one of their most trusted authorities on preventing just such atrocities. Sadism and violence, including shackling the women, appear to be part of many of Linberg’s crimes according to witnesses. However, at the trial, he only pleaded guilty to purchasing sex.
As for the 14-year-old victim in the case, Lindberg swears when he met her online, she told him she was 18 or 19. She says she told him she was 16, a minor according to Swedish law. The 64-year-old Lindberg was arrested at his hotel as he prepared to meet her in person. He had a bag full of “sex toys,” like handcuffs and other items well suited for sexual assault. The girl was shaken enough by the ordeal to request Lindberg be absent when she gave her testimony. He was later cleared of the charge relating to planned rape of a minor.
Two prostitutes claim that Lindberg engaged in purchase of sex while still serving as chief constable of Uppsala County and two members of the county police board are calling for a “truth commission” to investigate his entire term of service as constable from 1997 to 2006.
All over the world, even in “civilized” countries like Sweden, people in authority often use their power to exploit others, usually women and children. It makes it harder for victims to come forward and their perpetrators to be brought to justice. It is appalling that a man who was Sweden’s face of justice for these types of crimes would be committing them right under our noses. At only six-and-half years in prison, Swedish officials may not have pushed for the outcome many would like or consider to be just, but at least Lindberg was investigated and brought to trial instead of swept under the rug.
Kudos to those who spoke up at risk to their own careers. Be vigilant, friends. Be honest. And do not stop reporting human trafficking until someone listens and does something about it. Let’s keep the Lindbergs of the world on the other side of the handcuffs.
wakenya as usual mmesema mkachoka.
Kenyans who are sheep minded just get convinced sex is the order of the day just like swdes.Every article in sweden is just about sex,coz they are so immoral that some kenyans wonder how one can stay without it.Come on ..this immorality has to be condemned by these africans who have been brain washed by the white society immorality.God created holy sex and not immorality.So shame on all africans indulging in dirty whites stuff esp oral,anal och mouth sex……Wake up n wash your sins…ur all just the SONIAS taste.
Sex offender assigned new church position
A 23-year-old man who had relationships with several confirmation candidates and has been convicted of a sex offence has been assigned a new job within the Church of Sweden.
The man has been given a new job at Stafsinge parish in western Sweden despite the fact that church superiors knew of his conviction, according to a report in the local Hallands Nyheter (HN) daily.
The man was employed in a parish in central Sweden in a role with responsibility for young confirmation candidates. During the course of their education the man began a relationship with at least two girls, aged 14 and 15-years-old, the newspaper reports.
The man’s behaviour, which included encouraging the girls to pose naked, was ultimately exposed and he was forced to leave his position and reported to the police by the parish.
The 23-year-old stood accused of having sexually exploited the two girls but one of the cases was closed as the girl was over 15-years-old (the age of consent in Sweden).
In the other case the man confessed to the charges and was fined a total of 6,400 kronor ($1,000) and ordered to pay the 14-year-old 10,000 kronor in compensation.
But prior to the completion of the police investigation into the case, the man was given a position at Stafsinge parish in Falkenberg in western Sweden, despite the fact that his former pastor had called his new employers to inform them of the man’s past.
The two girls also called the pastor in Stafsinge parish, Hans-Evert Renérius, to warn him but claim that they were met with nonchalance.
“What happens if it happens again? They know about it? What do the parents of those going to Stafsinge for confirmation today know about this?” one of the girl’s said to HN.
“”They said that he had ‘given a good impression’ and that it ‘wasn’t so serious’,” she added.
The Local has made attempts to contact both Hans-Evert Renérius and his wife Barbo Nordström Renérius, who is chair of the church council which took the decision to employ the man, but calls have not been returned.
According to parish councillor Rune Niserius, a meeting had been called for this evening and the matter will be up for discussion.
“We are going to look at this. The council has a meeting booked in for this evening and I have a number of questions concerning this matter which I want answers to,” Niserius told The Local on Wednesday.
Niserius told The Local that he has also been unsuccessful in attempts to contact Hans-Evert Renérius in order to seek clarification on the matter.
“No. But I hope that I will get some answers this evening,” he said.
Jag har fått höra Sonias version av denna nyhet och vet hur vakter kan vara ibland. Hur ofta ger vakter sig på tjejer på det brutala viset? Dem slet av någon muskel och hon fick en inre blödning i armen. Vad kan hon ha gjort som var så hemskt för att förtjäna det? Att hon slängde ett tomt glas med is på golvet? Dem gjorde det bara för att hon var med i Big Brother och förmodligen för att Sonia är en person som står upp för sig själv. Dem ville inte släppa in henne på källaren i vip:n för att hon var för berusad, vilket inte stämde. Att hon skulle ha rivit deras kläder stämmer inte heller. Detta hände samma dag som jag och Sonia återförenades, när dem gick vidare ut för att festa. Synd att man inte var där. Fult och fegt, dem var fyra vakter på henne kan ni tänka er? Känner man sig som en större människa när man kränker en tjej på det sättet? Jag skulle tolka det som någon maktmissbruk från vakternas sida, något som kanske grundar sig i något djupare, inom dem själva. Eller?
Alltså Sonia är väldigt kontroversiell i många mansgrisars ögon, för att hon, som jag själv, passar inte in i den stereotypiska tjejrollen för att hon står på sig och går inte att tysta ner. Tjejer förväntas uppträda på ett mer ödmjukt sätt och det sticker i ögonen när en tjej är frispråkig och står upp för sin rätt. Så ser jag på saken och jag tycker att hon förtjänar en offentlig ursäkt från deras sida.
ROUGHLY SPEAKING…
I have been told Sonia’s version of this news and know how guards can be sometimes. How often are the guards on the girls in this brutal way? They tore a muscle and she had internal bleeding in the arm. What could she have done that was so horrible to deserve it? That she threw an empty glass with ice on the floor? They did it just because she was in Big Brother, and probably because Sonia is a person who stands up for herself. They would not let her into the basement in the vip: n because she was too drunk, which was not true. That she would have torn their clothing is not right either. This happened the same day as me and Sonia were reunited, when we went on out to party. Too bad you were not there. Ugly and cowardly, there were four guards on her, can you imagine? Do you feel like a bigger man when you violate a girl like that? I would interpret this as a misuse of power by guards, something that might be based on something deeper within themselves. Or?
So Sonia is very controversial in many men’s eyes, for she, like myself, do not fit into the stereotypical female for she stands up and can not be put down. Girls are expected to behave in a more humble way and it is troubling when a girl is outspoken and stands up for her rights. So, I look at it and I think she deserves a public apology from their side.
KSB: Sandra: Great that you have given this information for readers to know. Keep it up!
Come on kenyans why so much hatred?just because of BB?i know sonia and unlike other girls she is always kind and honest. In my opinion we kenyans dwell on what is negative or how we youngsters should behave. As a young kenyan myself I think this is unfair against her family. Sonia is a grown adult and she makes her own choises, and has the right to live the way she wants. Her actions shouldn’t be blamed on her parents or her mother who is a pastor. Come on XXXX is a pastor but Sonia isn’t. I think it is sad how we kenyans like trashing each other and sometimes I wonder what’s wrong us. Why can’t we just help, supoort, love and treasure each other.
KSB: Pissed: My understanding is that many people are more opposed to “Sex on TV” than Sonia’s participation in BB. Many people (including myself) have expressed sonia’s right as an adult to do what she wants with her life. I have not seen anybody attacking the family for Sonia’s participation in BB unless you can provide evidence. There has been a fierce debate between Sonia’s Dad and critics. Stop naming family members here at KSB because by doing so, you may be doing great harm to the family.
Pissed: keep on being pissed for nothing. Nobody is concerned with Sonia’s family except that as explained by Osewe, people responded variously to her father’s commentary.
