Swedish man faces 10-year prison for prostituting wife to 120 clients

A Swedish prosecutor has called for a 10-year prison sentence for a 62-year-old man accused of prostituting his wife to around 120 clients. The trial in Harnosand is largely closed to the public. The defendant allegedly created internet ads, arranged paid meetings between his wife and respondents, and coerced her into online sexual performances to attract more clients. He faces charges of aggravated pimping and eight counts of rape for acts between August 2022 and October 2025. While selling sex is legal in Sweden, buying sex is not, and profiting from prostitution is illegal. The wife, described as a victim in a vulnerable situation, seeks $120,000 in damages.
