There's much that worries me about this case. First and foremost, a doctor possessed a massive amount of child *advertiser censored* and is "gratified" to learn that he's not facing charges. But to be under investigation for 6 YEARS?? This is something that concerns me about many of the federal child *advertiser censored* cases here in the US. I'm seeing a "turn-around" from arrest to conviction of 1-3 years. And many of the men and women are jailed during that time. While it seems obvious that there must be overwhelming evidence against them, that seems like an unacceptable amount of time to me. Look at the Mohlers of Missouri. They were arrested in November 2009 and aren't facing trials until 2012. Can't this issue come up at appeal? I wonder if the technical investigative techniques are being speeded up?
Child *advertiser censored* investigation is a growing industry, that's for sure.

Swedish doc free from child *advertiser censored* charges due to slow probe

and
"...."It is such gratifying news," the doctor told newspaper Metro after hearing that the case would be dropped. Police had been investigating the doctor since 2005, upon the discovery of the vast amount of child *advertiser censored* material on his computer. The doctor's extensive child *advertiser censored* holdings were uncovered in a massive raid carried out in 2004 dubbed "Operation Sleipner" which targeted 120 people suspected of possessing or distributing child *advertiser censored*...."
and
"....the doctor was suspected of aggravated child *advertiser censored* crimes. But because there was so much evidence to go through, it wasnt until this year that police were able to determine that the doctor had not shared the material further or showed any indication of planning to do so. Without the intent to spread the images of child *advertiser censored* further, the doctor could only be charged with a minor child *advertiser censored* offences, which in turn carry a statute of limitations of five years instead of ten...."
