 While the above were the main charges, an incriminating factor in the case from the start has been Stigsson's interest in sado-masochistic sex practices which, together with his careless handling of secret documents, were considered a clear security risk by investigators.In May 2008, Stigsson was sentenced to three months in prison and was fired from the Swedish Armed Forces.Stigsson was born in Lönsboda, Sweden and grew up in a working class home.
