A man in his 60s in Sweden has been accused of aggravated procurement, exploiting his wife by allegedly selling sex with her to at least 120 men over three years. He has been in custody since October after his wife reported the incidents to police. Prosecutor Ida Annerstedt stated that investigators believe the husband ruthlessly exploited his wife on a large scale. The man denies any wrongdoing. The alleged operation involved both physical meetings and online contact. Swedish law criminalizes buying and procuring sex, but not selling it, viewing sex workers as exploited victims. The man faces an indictment on March 13, with a trial expected to follow. If convicted, he could face two to 10 years in prison. Two men who allegedly purchased sex have been charged, and more charges are anticipated.
