In his north London basement flat, Marius Gustavson castrated and sexually tortured dozens of men for the enjoyment of paying viewers on his Eunuch Maker website.
Over four years, Gustavson made £300,000 from the 22,800 subscribers paying to watch the “human butchery” unfold on their screens.
At the Old Bailey on Thursday, the 46-year-old Norwegian national was jailed for life with a minimum custodial sentence of 22 years.
To his online followers, he instilled a “cult-like” atmosphere, recruiting “like-minded” backstreet surgeons to help run what a judge called the “large-scale, dangerous and extremely disturbing enterprise”.
With the help of his six co-defendants, he was involved with at least 30 mutilations – including on a 16-year-old boy – using kitchen knives and agricultural tools normally used on livestock.
Many victims were vulnerable men questioning their own identity, whose research into gender dysphoria or body dysmorphia had led them into Gustavson’s “spider web”.
One was Jacob Crimi-Appleby, a then 17-year-old who was later manipulated into helping amputate Gustavson’s leg after “falling down an internet rabbit hole” while looking up gender dysphoria online.
Caroline Carbery KC, prosecuting, said it was “remarkable” that the Eunuch Maker website “operated in plain sight, not on the dark web, accessible to anyone who stumbled upon it and had the inclination and means to pay to view the gruesome footage”. Users were offered a “VIP” yearly subscription of £100, along with free unlimited messaging.
