About 30 of the downloaded documents were marked with confidentiality.

- It is a big question both for me and for the court about why he has had them, says lawyer Pia Johansson.

It was in March that the whole thing was discovered.

The employee, who had administrative tasks at the district court, has for a long time had access to documents that he did not have to deal with in his work.

Two work computers have been examined and both show signs that external devices have been connected, which according to the Personnel Responsibility Committee shows that the computers have been used to copy, move or change files.

- The classified documents concern sex-related matters, including cases of child pornography offenses, says Pia Johansson.

Do you know if these have been passed on to other people?

- I can not answer that, but it will become clear when the police look at it.

Denies crime

The man may have been guilty of misconduct and gross data breach.

He himself claims that he downloaded the documents for work-related reasons when he transferred necessary documents from an old computer to a new one.

The Personnel Liability Committee has an obligation to make a prosecution report, even in the event of a low degree of suspicion of misconduct.

The suspect has resigned from his position at the district court.
