The Black Stars midfielder, however, denied criminal charges, saying the girls involved made him believe they were older than their ages.
The judge Ola Lavie adjourned the case to next Monday.
In Sweden, the punishment for rape against children, that is having sex or equivalent with a child under fifteen years, is at least two years.
Kingsley Sarfo was handed his maiden Black Stars call-up last year and he made his debut against Congo in a FIFA World Cup qualifier.
