Top prosecutor nabbed in prostitution sting
Police in Stockholm (https://www.escort-ireland.com/tag/stockholm) were surprised on Monday to find that a man they had arrested for buying sex from a prostitute was the duty prosecutor to whom they were obliged to report the crime.
The chief prosecutor spent Monday evening with a female prostitute in a central Stockholm hotel. A police squad, however, had been tipped off and was waiting for him in the staircase outside the room.
Officers were surprised to learn of the man's status while arresting him, as he was the prosecutor on duty to whom they should report the crime.
The man paid 1,500 kronor ($232) for the sex, according to the Expressen newspaper.
He had allegedly found the escort online, when "surfing around on his iPhone" during a train trip, during which he consumed half a bottle of wine and a beer.
"And then I did what I am suspected of - I went out into the staircase and the police arrested me there," the prosecutor told the Aftonbladet newspaper.
He has confessed to the crime, and his family has been notified.
"My wife will leave me and my children think I have behaved like a pig. Even my friends think the same," he told Expressen.
The man told Aftonbladet that in his experience as a prosecutor, he knew that the "stupidest thing" he could do was to lie.
"I have done what I've done, I'm standing with my pants down. The worst is what I have done to my family and friends," he said.
The arrested man explained that another prosecutor would take care of the case, and that he was unaware of his punishment, or when it would likely be determined.

Im sure there are plenty of TDs and ministers that do the very same thing :(
And essentially they are going to end upi crimanilising themselves if this stupid legislation goes through :banghead:
The hypocricy of Ireland :angryfire: At least it's a nice place to visit, dont you think??? ;)
Very similar story to the Eliot Spitzer story in New York a few years ago. Governor of New York was cracking down on prostitution only to get caught by his own sting operations!
I wonder if part of the reason these guys end up doing something so hypocritical is that when they investigate prostitution and find mostly consenting adults, does it suddenly turn their beliefs about it upside down? Or are they just trying to moralise to others to make themselves feel better about their own desires?
Anyway, good to see he was caught but also good to see he didn't make any excuses.
I hope at least it makes other prosecutors see how they can be destroying other people's lives for no good reason
Another example of how stupid the Swedish model is!!!! :mad: Will the Swedes ever get sense?????:angryfire: Will Swedish men ever stand up to the radical feminists that influence anti-male laws in Sweden??? Probably not! Their loss. They might as well self castrate themselves.
Whatever the Swedes think or do, I hope we have more sense in this country and that the hypocrisy of the TORL and Ruhama get exposed.:banghead:

I'd say he was just doing some research.... going undercover.... like.
Interesting! he states he is unaware what his "Punishment" will be!!! I wonder what the ladies in Torl and Ruhama would Suggest

ironies really are delicious sometimes arent they!
I remember when we were joining what was then called "the Common Market" now known as (the EU) back in 1973, there was a programme on TV warning of the liberal sex laws, and prostitution in the Countries that were already there,and they were pointing out how we were going to be corrupted by association with these Countries.
I distinctely remember Sweden being mentioned as being a very liberal Country in relation to girlie magizines,pornography and every other aspect of selling Sex and sexual material.
What has happened in the meantime i do not know.
But what happened to the prosecuter in Sweden only highlights what can happen here if the present proposed leglisation goes through.
Marriages and families destroyed,embarressment,court appearences with huge medie interest and suicide.
Just because two consenting adults want to meet for whatever reason in the privacy of a home,hotel room or apartment.
Sad really that a broke Country has nothing better to be doing with their time, and whatever bit of tax revenue they are collecting from its hard pressed citizens,:mad: :mad:

Having said that the reality is that Joe Blogs in Sweden isn't losing any sleep over it at all. So far not one person has gone to prison for it and the fines are relatively minimal. The majority of men prosecuted have not gone to court, because they pleaded guilty and the ones that did go to court got small fines, although I'm not sure how much media exposure they had.
During a survey asking men how they felt about the crimanilsation law one of them likened it to a speeding fine, saying that everyone knows it is illegal, but still they speed. You hope that you won't get caught, but if you do, it was a risk worth taking.

See, I find this so discombobulating. Sweden has such liberal attitudes towards sex in general ,
and yet they have foolishly adopted such restrictive social agenda.
It doesn't make sense.

"Swedish Sex: Overly liberated, or am I just an American Prude?
When dating someone from a different country, there are bound to be a plethora of cultural differences and misunderstandings. For me, and for dating a man from Sweden, there has been one topic that continually evokes a dialogue of different views and opinions: sex.
Before I started dating my Swede, and I hate to admit this, I didn’t know too much about Sweden, nor did I think very often about it. Honestly, I could probably tell you Ikea, H&M, Volvo and meatballs, and that would be the extent of my knowledge on the country. Since being formally introduced to Sweden, I have learned about it profusely: from its history to its language, to its food and culture and to its liberal approach to speech and, well, sex.
Now, in America, we have freedom of speech as well. Also, I was by no means raised in a strict religious household. I think we had pretty open dialogues about sex, if I ever wanted to have them, and it was never portrayed as something strictly taboo. However, when it came to sex, I was taught to wait until I was with someone “special” to do it and that it was something that two people do when in “love.” I also wasn’t allowed to watch movies or TV shows that contained “adult content” until I was of the appropriate age, in my parents’ opinions.
The education my boyfriend received on this topic and the attitude that was instilled in him was a little bit different. In our discussions on the topic it seems he was introduced to sex at a much younger age and was taught that it was a thing of pleasure that it was ok to experiment with. Of course he was taught to be safe and to always respect whichever sexual partner he was to have, but he was never told not to do it, and in my opinion, was almost encouraged to try.
Coming from a country where abstinence has been the forerunner in sexual education for so long, this was a little shocking to me. Of course I don’t live under a rock and I know how ridiculous it is to tell hormonal teenagers to just not have sex, but to out rightly tell them to do it, I could never imagine such a thing.
I was shocked even more recently when watching the first episode of Sweden’s Paradise Hotel television show where, on the first night, two of the contestants on the show slept together and the act was played on TV. Yes, we have Big Brother and other similar shows in the U.S. where participants sleep together as well and it is put on TV for all to know about. It is shown in the same way: night vision cameras, mostly just lumps under the covers in the bed, showing just enough movement for you to guess what is going on. But on Swedish TV they leave in all the explicit dialogue of the event so that little is left to the imagination: “Wait, I want to do it doggy style” “No, just stay like this” “Oh, I am coming now..” “Wait for me so we can come together” “No, no I am coming now, ohhh, I’m coming” “Can we do it again in the morning so I can come too?” (this is my attempt to translate this from Swedish, so I apologize if it isn’t quite accurate, but hey, I tried).
This complete lack of privacy was, again, shocking for me. This was on regular television, for anyone to see. My boyfriend argued that it was on later in the evening, so children probably wouldn’t have been able to watch it. But come on, if I can figure out how to watch this show online and in France, any 10 year old Swedish kid could do the same.
The thing that puzzled me the most was how sex could be shown so explicitly and as if it is no big deal on public television. Is this the kind of message that a country wants to be sending to their young children, who are being told it is ok to go out and experiment with sex?
But then I thought, what is the big deal? I myself am making sex taboo—something that should be hidden behind closed doors. Perhaps when putting it out there, completely naked and uncensored (literally) it really does promote a healthier sexual lifestyle for a people.
The Local today published an article about the Green Party politician Sofia Bothorp who made explicit comments about Sweden’s views on sex during a local council debate (http://www.thelocal.se/23506/20091126/). Again, I am pondering that maybe it is me who needs to loosen up and embrace this freedom of sexual expression. Ok, maybe Bothorp should have saved her comments for a more appropriate time and not during a political meeting, but I think she is right to be proud and grateful for the openness Sweden has for speech, expression and sex. I’m not quite sure how that would work for America, and I still do get a bit uncomfortable on the topic, but I’m willing to push my sexual self to not be so rigid.
Who knows, maybe teaching kids about the best ways to pleasure themselves and slang words for their sexual organs is a good thing (see other article on The Local about sex education in Sweden today http://www.thelocal.se/23032/20091102/). Maybe it makes for a happier and healthier people and a more peaceful country. Swedes seem pretty content to me."

Ahh.. sorry. I'm confused.
Social/political/governmentally recognized, official Gender reassignment means a gender/genital reassignment surgery :
If someone would like to become a Miss instead of a Mr, or vica versa, they must undergo sex reassignment surgery.
Man to woman, you lose the testes. Woman to Man, you lose the ovaries as part of a full hysterectomy.
THAT is full sex reassignment surgery. Once that is complete, some governments will issue new IDs reflecting new gender.
In that article, I am reading about people who want to have their cake and eat it too.
Nothing wrong with that, but should a govt foot the bill ? Retroactively ?
I cannot even imagine how difficult life must be for transgender people, but like.. make up your mind ?
Born in the wrong body : yes. You want to change to your 'correct' gender : well, you do genital reassignment, you lose the
reproductive organs that are not inherent in your new 'chosen' gender.. It's a huge decision. A personal decision.
There are many infertile heterosexual couples in the world. Hard as it may be, they manage to become parents (more often than not)
I am SO confused on Sweden's stance towards sexuality et al. This case -- the govt sued ? I find it preposterous.

Allowing someone to freeze their eggs or their sperm is not hugely expensive and gives them an opportunity to have a full life. I don't see why it should be one or the other or why it should be a condition to having papers to say your gender has changed. Why is that cake and eat it? Having been a Mother is probably the most fulfilling thing I have ever done, I would not willingly deny that anyone. My Aunty was baron and I know that it coloured her life to the day she died. Imagine being born in the wrong body and then finally becoming the 'real' you and not being able to complete the fairy tale?
To me it seems so sad and far more than being greedy and wanting it all, but then I guess... I am a Mother.
Unfortunately the stupid irish authorities is looking seriously at the swedish model as the way to go for the law here , but , all the same , men have " needs " no matter what their status in life. :)

Sweden is liberal? Haha. Compared to Ireland perhaps yes. Compared to Denmark, no...
Also, I am not sure what the story here is. Someone gets caught with his pants down. So what? The politicians implemented this law, not the prosecutors. He could have been doing this all his life and been against the law from the get go. He got caught, someone else got caught before him, someone else will after him. Someone else will step up and get his job and speed or drink drive or something else. A nothing story.
