Kingsley Sarfo has been granted bail after he was arrested for raping a minor
The 22-year-old was arrested in Malmo on Saturday on a single-sourced allegation of raping a teenager.
However, female judge in Sweden ordered the release of Ghanaian footballer Kingsley Sarfo from police custody on Sunday.
Sarfo's lawyer has jumped to his defence over the alleged raping of a minor.

“He admits he had sex with the plaintiff,” said his defense lawyer Mikael Sundman.
“But there are question marks around when and where he had sex with the plaintiff,” he says.
“He also did not have the knowledge that the plaintiff has been under 15 years.”
The football player admitted through his lawyer the circumstances after the presentation by prosecutor Rikard Darell in the district court.
“But there are no subjective conditions for crime,” said Mikael Sundman, a trained criminal prosecutor.
