A Stockholm-area pastor on probation for having sex with a teen girl in his congregation is to be investigated anew following new accusations that he sexually abused other girls and sent them sexually explicit emails.
In a decision made public on Monday, the cathedral chapter of the Stockholm diocese said it planned to open a new investigation into the pastor's behaviour.
The decision, taken during a closed-door meeting last week, comes amid calls for the pastor's resignation from parish members.
"We want to make the point that this isn't okay. This concerns a pastor in a position which gives him unequal standing relative to the confirmation candidates," the parish's deputy vicar told the TT news agency last week.
The pastor, who continues to work while on probation, was first reported to the diocese in 2009 for having a sexual relationship with a then 16-year-old girl.
