A former Left Party politician in Borlänge is sentenced for assaulting two children. He receives a conditional sentence and 75 hours of community service.
The man admitted striking the children with an open hand on the back of the head. He is convicted of two counts of assault and two counts of child peace breach. The district court deems him suitable for community service because he has no prior convictions and lives under well-ordered conditions. Prison is the usual penalty for assault. The man must pay 20 000 kronor in damages to each child. He has already left all political assignments.
