The store alerted the police who conducted a house search and additional hard drives with child pornographic content were found.

A total of 1,083 child pornographic images and 312 child pornographic films were found.

Of these, 17 images and 80 films were judged to contain gross abusive material.

"Matters are high"

A long time has passed between the seizure and the prosecution, and according to the prosecutor, it has its explanation.

- The unit in the East region that investigates these crimes is so work-intensive that cases are high, says Thomas Bergström, chamber prosecutor at the prosecutor's office in Eskilstuna.

Police found drugs

The police were also able to find drug-classified tablets in the man's home.

The accused has admitted child pornography offenses, but denies minor drug offenses.

The maximum penalty for child pornography offenses is imprisonment for a maximum of two years, but according to the prosecutor, child pornography offenses usually lead to a suspended sentence and a fine if the person in question has not been convicted before, which is the case here.
