23 women convicted in child porn case

A SWEDISH court yesterday convicted 23 women and a man of child pornography offenses in what investigators called a unique case because of the number of female perpetrators.

The Falu District Court gave the women, aged between 38 and 70, conditional sentences and fines ranging from 2,500 to 18,000 Swedish kronor (US$376 to US$2,704). It also sentenced a 43-year-old man to one year in prison for aggravated child pornography.

The court said the women received scores of sexually explicit video clips and photographs of children from the man and discussed them with him online. Some said they liked the images or shared sexual fantasies about the children, and one woman sent pornographic images of children to the man, the court said.

The man made contact with the women on the Internet and had sexual relations with about half of them, but they had no connection to each other, the court said.

The pornographic material showed girls and boys of various ages, from toddlers to teenagers.

Some 1,181 pictures and 40 films involving children were found on the man's computer, including images of shackled children being raped by adults.

Police said reactions they have received from Interpol indicate this is the first child pornography case worldwide involving so many women.
