Before the official arrest, the media had already announced that Šveljo was a “pedophile”, who “raped, pimped, drugged and photographed boys for pornographic purposes”. The tabloids called him a monster and a predator and published his image on the front pages. They went so far as to call on the judges to give him the maximum sentence of 40 years in prison.
