A man has been sentenced for insulting a female police officer during an intervention, reports Expressen.

The man is the first to be convicted of the new crime of insulting an official after a law change that came into force last summer.

According to the Göteborg District Court, the man is sentenced to 60 days of fines after calling a police officer a ”whore”. He must also pay 10,000 kronor in damages and 1,000 kronor to the crime victim fund.
