FALUN, Sweden, July 1 (UPI) -- The chief executive of a Swedish municipal housing company has been reprimanded for displaying a pornographic image during a presentation, the company said.

Par Nyberg, 63, head of the Kopparstaden municipal housing company in Falun, received a formal warning and his pay was docked after the projector he ran during a presentation to the company's board displayed an image of a naked woman instead of the first slide, The Local reported Wednesday.

"Par Nyberg has clearly violated our IT (information technology) policy for which he has the utmost responsibility," said Erich Colberg, chairman of the company's board. "He's done something extremely stupid. But he promises that it will never happen again."

Nyberg apologized for the incident, saying the pictures were pop-ups that appeared while he was visiting other Web sites.

"I'm really sorry. It was a mistake that runs counter to all standards of morality," he said. "But it's not illegal. It wasn't child porn or anything like that, but a naked woman."
