Swedish court jails three men for rape broadcast on Facebook

STOCKHOLM, Apr 25 (Reuters) A Swedish court jailed three men today for up to two and a half years for the rape of a woman that was broadcast live on Facebook.
The rape, which shocked Sweden, took place earlier this year in the city of Uppsala, about 80 km (50 miles) north of Stockholm. Viewers of the live broadcast alerted police who swooped on an apartment in the city and detained the men.
Two of the men were convicted of rape and the third, who received a six-month sentence, of failing to report the crime and defamation for broadcasting it. The court did not give their ages but said they were born between 1992 and 1998.
