A 61-year-old Swedish man has been sentenced to four years in prison for coercing his wife into sexual acts with approximately 120 men. The court found that the man controlled his wife through drugs, isolation, and surveillance cameras, and made threats of violence. He initiated the sale of her sexual services, which he largely managed, and influenced her to perform sexual acts, broadcast them online, and engage with additional buyers and neighbors. The woman escaped and contacted the police. The court dismissed some rape charges due to insufficient evidence of involuntary participation or the specific acts.

He plied her with drugs and used the remoteness of their home in eastern Sweden, her limited network of contacts and surveillance cameras in their home which sometimes captured sexual encounters to control her.He also threatened to kill her, pour petrol on her, burn her and cut off her fingers, prosecutors told the court.The woman knew where the cameras were in the house and used a blind spot to escape before calling police, according to public broadcaster SVT.The court found the man had "influenced and induced his wife to perform sexual acts on herself, broadcast them online, receive additional sex buyers and try to get neighbours and customers to have sex with her", it ruled on Tuesday.It said that, in many cases, this was done through "prolonged nagging and with unpleasant and condescending language".It also found he had taken the initiative to begin selling her sexual services and had administered most of the business.The court dismissed eight counts of rape as it could not establish her participation was involuntary and in one case could not establish which sexual acts took place. Under Swedish law, rape charges can be filed for sexual assaults in which the seriousness of the violation is comparable to sexual intercourse, rights groups say.
