A swedish celebrity of culture is accused of sexually assaulting many women in the past 20 years. The Swedish Academy, which is closely related to it, has been involved in the storm due to improper handling of sexual assault charges. On the 12th, the permanent secretary-general Sala Duniu was included. Two members including Sri Lanka resigned.
The Swedish Academy, which is responsible for the award of the Nobel Prize in Literature, held an emergency meeting in Stockholm. After the meeting, Danius said, “The hospital wants me to leave the post of permanent secretary. I originally wanted to continue, but there are other things to do in life.”
In addition, Katarina Frostenson, a member of the school and the Swedish writer, also announced his resignation.
The Swedish daily "Dagens Nyheter" published 18 women's testimonies in November last year, alleging that they had been harassed or physically assaulted by a man who was one of the most influential figures in the Swedish cultural circle.
Reuters reported that sexual harassment and sexual assault allegedly targeted the husband of Jean-Claude Arnault. After the scandal was exposed, the Swedish School said it had cut off the financial relationship with Arnault and opened an internal investigation. Arnault’s lawyer Bjorn Hurtig stated that Arnault denied all accusations. Hittig said: "Arno denied all criminal activities. He denied any other accusations that had been imposed on him."
However, after the end of the internal investigation, the Swedish Academy stated that it would not take legal action against Arnaud and his wife. Coupled with the many problems encountered during the investigation, three former liberal arts students have resigned. According to the regulations, academicians are all tenured and technically unable to resign, but they stop participating in activities.
