A Swede convicted of rape over the internet after coercing teenagers in Canada, Britain and the United States to perform sexual acts in front of webcams, will appeal the verdict. Defense lawyer Kronje Samuelsson told The Associated Press Friday that Bjorn Samstrom "has been convicted in a way that we do not think is correct." He denies rape. Samstrom has admitted making contact with the children but claims he cannot recollect asking them to perform for him. His conviction for online rape was the first of its type in Sweden.
