Patrik Sjöberg questioned whether another documentary about Staffan Hildebrand and abuse against teenage boys was needed, but wrote that it could show how a perpetrator later tried to portray their actions. He argued that Hildebrand's descriptions of having helped and supported the boys, and reasoning about consent, risked downplaying the power difference between an adult man and teenagers. Sjöberg wrote that he recognized similarities between Hildebrand's narrative and his own abuser's lies and methods. He objected to the idea that help to young people could justify sexual acts with minors, referencing that Hildebrand, according to the documentary, asked how he could have known that pedophilia was wrong in 1975. Sjöberg called for documentaries that followed the victims and depicted how the abuse affected their lives, including through anxiety, shame, sleep problems, substance abuse, and difficulties in trusting others. He wrote that scrutiny of perpetrators was necessary, but that their self-image should not be treated as definitive or their inner lives given more space than the victims' experiences. #övergrepp #offren #dokumentär (translated)
