23 Swedish women convicted over child porn

A SWEDISH court has convicted 23 women of possessing child pornography, in a case that has drawn widespread attention because child pornography perpetrators are usually men. 
 
The Falun district court in central Sweden handed the women, who are aged between 38 and 70, suspended sentences and ordered them to pay fines ranging from $370 to $2658.

The ringleader in the case, however, was a man, 43-year-old Lars Skoglund, who who distributed large quantities of pornographic material featuring children to the women.
