Swedish man jailed over four years after coercing wife into sex with 120 men

A 61‑year‑old man was sentenced to four years and five months in prison after courts ruled that he had coerced his wife into providing sexual services to more than 120 men at his secluded farm in the Ångermanland region. The prosecution detailed a systematic operation that involved violence threats, the use of drugs, and the deployment of security cameras to exert control over the wife.

During the trial, the court found the man had orchestrated the commercial sex act, pressed financial payments to the men, and even broadcast some encounters online. While 28 other men were found to have purchased the services, only 29 faced charges; most of these received suspended sentences or probation.

A warning note indicates that the story contains details that may be disturbing for some readers.

Prosecutors argued that the man would not cease forcing his wife to engage in sexual acts until her eventual police report in October 2025. The court also ordered him to pay the victim 200,000 Swedish krona in damages.

Despite the comparison drawn by media to cases such as Dominique Pelicot in France, the Swedish case highlights the importance of legal frameworks that recognize both consensual and coerced sexual activity, especially in contexts of exploitation and deceit.
