Child Sexual Abuse Is Illegal In Finland

In May 2018, RT, a Russian TV network with a reputation for spreading false information, claimed that a Finnish court ruled that a Muslim asylum-seeker in Finland who had sexually abused a 10-year-old girl, did not rape her. Sean Adl-Tabatabai, the co-founder of fake news platform YourNewsWire, aggregated the claim, citing RT. Throughout June and July, social media users have been posting screenshots of a portion of Adl-Tabatabai’s writing, which claimed that sex with children is permitted in Finland.
