Music festival called off after sex abuse reports

A Swedish music festival that has seen performances by artists such as Kanye West, Robbie Williams and Iron Maiden has been called off next year after several sexual abuse reports.

Organisers of the Bravalla festival in Norrkoping, southern Sweden, say the decision was made after a rape was reported on Friday. Swedish police say they are investigating 11 cases of sexual abuse and one rape at this year’s festival, which ended on Saturday.
