Event Summary

A 62-year-old man in Sweden has been charged with aggravated pimping, several rapes, and assault, suspected of exploiting his vulnerable wife to have sex with approximately 120 men for money. The suspect, reportedly a former member of Hells Angels, was arrested in October 2025 after his wife reported him to the police. Prosecutor Ida Annerstedt stated that the man allegedly created online adverts, set up meetings, kept guard, and pressured his wife to perform sexual acts, exploiting her drug addiction and using violence and threats. The charges include eight counts of rape and four attempted rapes. The case has drawn widespread attention in Sweden and comparisons to the Gisèle Pelicot case in France. Sweden's Minister for Gender Equality, Nina Larsson, has condemned the events. A trial is scheduled to begin on April 13.
