Marius Gustavson and his acolytes carried out male castration and other “grisly” procedures on an unprecedented scale, the Old Bailey heard.
Procedures were videoed and published on Gustavson’s Eunuch Maker website, which netted him more than £300,000 between 2017 and 2021.
Gustavson, 46, of Haringey, north London, admitted charges including conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm. Yesterday Judge Lucraft sentenced him to life with a minimum term of 22 years. He said Gustavson had been the mastermind of the “gruesome and grisly”, “large-scale” and “extremely dangerous” enterprise.
Six other men received jail terms of between four and a half years and 12 years for their part in the plot.
Judge Lucraft said: “I am entirely satisfied that the motivation of all those involved were a mix of sexual gratification as well as financial reward.”
Some of what happened was “little short of human butchery”, he said.
