Timeline

1946

Jean-Claude Arnault (born 15 August 1946), known in Swedish media as kulturprofilen ("the cultural personage", but commonly translated literally as "the cultural profile"), is a French-Swedish convicted sex offender.

He worked as a photographer and is the former artistic director of the cultural center Forum – Nutidsplats för kultur ("Forum – Contemporary Scene for Culture") Stockholm.

2006

Swedish media have reported that he groped Swedish Crown Princess Victoria at an academy event in 2006.

At the same time, his wife Katarina Frostenson was accused of corruption for not informing the Swedish Academy about conflicts of interest when distributing subsidies for her husband's cultural center.

The Swedish Academy believes he leaked the names of seven winners of the Nobel Prize in literature.

Arnault denied all allegations.

2008

He won Natur & Kultur's cultural award in 2008.

He is married to former Swedish Academy member Katarina Frostenson.

2015

Following his conviction, Arnault was also stripped of his knighthood in the Order of the Polar Star, which he had been granted in 2015.

In the wake of the accusations, the Swedish Academy suffered a considerable blow to its reputation.

Academy member Klas Östergren left the academy and academy members Sara Danius, Peter Englund, Kjell Espmark and Frostenson ceased taking part in the academy's work, leading to concerns about the future of the academy.

2017

In November 2017, in the wake of the Me Too movement, eighteen women accused Arnault of sexual assault, alleged to have occurred over the course of 20 years.

This caused the Swedish Academy to break all financial ties with him.

2018

Arnault became widely known after several accusations of sexual assault levelled against him precipitated a scandal resulting in the resignations of members of the Nobel Committee and the postponement of the 2018 Nobel Prize for Literature.

These events occurred against the background of the Me Too movement.

In 2018, he was found guilty of two sexual assaults and sentenced to two years and six months in prison.

He appealed the sentence to the Supreme Court of Sweden on the basis of judicial disqualification.

On 1 October 2018, Arnault was convicted of one count of rape and sentenced to two years in prison as well as a SEK 115,000 fine.

Arnault appealed the verdict.

On 3 December 2018, the Svea Court of Appeal increased the sentence and found Arnault guilty of two counts of rape and sentenced him to two years and six months in prison.

The fine was raised to SEK 215,000.

On 27 April 2018, Sara Stridsberg left the academy in solidarity with Sara Danius.

The New Academy Prize in Literature was created as an alternative to the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature.

Arnault was an inmate in Skogome Prison, a high-security prison for sex offenders; Swedish media reported that he was disciplined for breaking prison rules by making sexist comments towards a female warder.

2019

On 5 May 2019, the court decided not to grant leave to appeal and the verdict from the lower court was subsequently enforced.

Arnault was born in Marseille, France.

Due to the scandal and a perceived tarnishing of the Nobel Committee's reputation, the Nobel Prize in Literature was postponed until 2019.

In late 2019 he was transferred to another prison at Tillberga.

2020

Arnault was conditionally released from prison in May 2020.
