Swedish ex-police chief convicted of sex crimes

A STOCKHOLM court has sentenced a former police chief to 6.5 years in prison for rape and other sex crimes.

The Sodertorn District Court today convicted Goran Lindberg of more than a dozen sex offenses, including buying sexual favors.

The 64-year-old former police commissioner has denied all charges aside from a few cases of buying sex.

Lindberg was police chief in the Swedish city of Uppsala from 1997 to 2006 and also has headed Sweden's national police academy.

The case has received nationwide attention because Lindberg was known for his lectures on gender equality and sexual harassment.
