A
17-year-old has told of her ordeal after a mob of 'foreign youths'
sexually assaulted dozens of females at a Swedish music festival.
At
least 35 aged between 12 and 17 reported being attacked during the
'Party in the Park' festival in Karlstad, 250 miles from Stockholm in
Sweden's Varmland County on Friday and Saturday night.
Some
of the alleged victims reported being 'kissed and groped' in scenes
similar to the Cologne New Year attacks, in which dozens of women
reported being assaulted.
One
17-year-old victim has waived her right to anonymity to describe how an
attacker targeted her while she was watching music at the popular
event.

Alexandra
Larsson told MailOnline she was molested on Friday night having been
looking forward to attending the festival for months.
She
said: 'Everything was okay at the beginning of the evening. But things
got out of hand during the last concert with John de Sohn that started
at midnight.
'At
first we were pushed right up against the stage by the massive crowd.
Everyone around us behaved really badly and my friends told a couple of
boys to quieten down.

'They
were then threatened by the boys who said “you will die, b***h”. But the
verbal abuse was just beginning. It would become much worse.
'We
managed to walk away from those boys after a while and started watching
the concert. That was when I felt the first touch against my bottom.
'Then
someone took the liberty of grabbing my butt really hard. I turned away
and said to the group of boys behind us that this was not okay, but I
did not know who had done it. After a while, I felt someone running his
fingers between my legs touching my genitals. Luckily, I had jeans on
me.'
After
the harassment, she turned around and said to the group of young men
standing next to her that they should stop what they were doing. But
everyone around her claimed to be innocent.
