Charges of necrophilia dismissed against Swedish woman who kept human bones

Story here. Excerpt:

'A Swedish woman who kept human skulls and bones in her apartment was sentenced Monday to probation and ordered to undergo psychiatric care after being convicted of “disturbing the peace of the dead.”

The prosecution had argued that the 37 year-old woman, who has a history of unemployment and substance abuse, used the bones “for various sexual activities”, but charges of necrophilia were dismissed by the Gothenburg district court.

“Moving parts of the skeleton is a crime, since she was unauthorised to do so, just as it is a crime to assemble a skeleton and keep it lying on the floor, (and) to keep skeletal parts in plastic bags and use them for trade,” the court said.'
