Hockey player cleared of groping because woman had "gigantic breasts"

"It wasn’t hard to brush up against them", said the Swedish investigator.

A police investigator has dropped a case against an ice hockey player accused of molesting a woman at a night club in northern Sweden - because she had "gigantic breasts".

Björklöven hockey club suspended the player, who says he doesn’t remember what happened on Saturday night, after he was accused of assault and sexual molestation at the Marité night club in Östersund, northern Sweden.

After questioning the accusers, investigator Mikael Lundberg said there was no proof the player had assaulted a woman at the club. He then left legal experts flabbergasted when he explained to newspaper Expressen why he did not think the player had meant to grope a second woman.

"With regard to the sexual molestation, they [the two women] were standing at a bar table and then he comes along drunk and drapes his arms around both of them from behind, and then he happens to touch one of their breasts. And it should be noted that they had gigantic breasts, it wasn’t hard to brush up against them. If you’re drunk and drape yourself over someone, well, you can understand how it might have happened."

Former prosecutor Sven-Erik Ahem said he was "absolutely astonished" by the investigator’s reasoning.

"I'm amazed that this can still happen in 2016. It’s completely illegitimate," he told @thelocalsweden.
