Niklas Erik Axel Eliasson (today Niklas Eriksson) (born 13 November 1986)[1], also known as the Örebro rapist, is a serial rapist who was convicted of 14 assaults on women and sentenced to 12 years in prison.[2] He was considered one of Sweden's worst serial rapists of all time. According to his lawyer, "[t]here was a feeling and an inner voice that urged and triggered him to attack women."[3]

After serving eight years in prison, he was released on parole in 2018.[4]

He has changed his name to Niklas Eriksson.[5]
