Man suspected of selling his wife – to over 100 men

A man in Ångermanland is in custody, suspected of having sold his wife for sex to over 100 men over several years.

A man in Ångermanland, Sweden, has been taken into custody accused of selling his wife to numerous men over the course of several years. The alleged crimes reportedly span more than three years and have involved both physical meetings and virtual encounters. The prosecutor, Ida Annerstedt, described the situation as a large-scale operation that has led to the ruthless exploitation of the woman involved, who ultimately took the courageous step to report her husband to the authorities.

The suspect, a man in his sixties, has been charged with aggravated pimping, and the investigation into his activities has been expanding since it began last fall. Prosecutor Annerstedt noted that evidence from several mobile phones has been collected, revealing the extensive operations of the sex trafficking. The allegations suggest that there may have been coercion involved, and the man's financial gains from his wife's exploitation form a crucial part of the ongoing investigation.

The deeply troubling case highlights issues of human trafficking and domestic abuse, reflecting a broader societal concern about the treatment of women in abusive relationships. The legal proceedings are likely to raise awareness and contribute to discussions about the necessity of stronger protections for vulnerable individuals in such situations.
