A Disturbing Scandal Brought To Light
HBO Max’s “Quiet In Class”, a three-part Max Original docuseries debuting Monday, September 29, investigates Sweden’s largest school abuse scandal.
The series examines the shocking case at the International English School in Karlstad, where more than 150 children were abused by a youth leader trusted to protect them.
Over eight years, the man secretly filmed, photographed, and exploited children, creating child pornography that was distributed online.
Despite repeated warnings dating back to 2017, the school allowed him to remain in his position, enabling the abuse to continue.
What The “Quiet In Class” Docuseries Reveals
The docuseries gives a voice to survivors, families, investigators, and lawyers who represented more than 150 victims in the 2024 trial.
Viewers will learn:
- How the youth leader was able to keep working despite at least seven warnings.
- The disturbing fact that one of the earliest warnings came from another convicted pedophile.
- How an external crisis manager’s critical report was kept from the public.
- The ongoing impact of betrayal and neglect that allowed abuse to persist for nearly a decade.
These revelations show how the adult world failed the children who needed protection the most.
Executive Producer’s Powerful Statement
Executive producer Karin Moreno emphasized the importance of this project:
This story is deeply disturbing, and I cannot put into words how grateful we are for the courage of the victims who chose to take part.
What these young girls have been subjected to is horrific, and the fact that the adult world did not listen or take them seriously makes it even more painful.
We can only hope that their stories spark reflection on both responsibility and change.
