Between Wednesday and Saturday last week, several men were arrested in Jönköping who are now suspected of sex purchases. Most of them have acknowledged, says Marcus Anefur, who is responsible for the police operation.

- There are 13 reports of purchases of sexual services, but two of these sex purchases must have taken place on previous occasions. In total, eleven men are suspected, he says.

Women from Romania

The men range in age from 20-30 years up to the age of 50 and most are residents in the immediate area. But one had traveled about 20 miles to buy six. The women are in their 20s and 30s and all come from Romania. The sex trade should have taken place indoors in a few places in Jönköping.

- These women come from very difficult conditions. Somehow, this is a way to keep your head above the water surface. But the money raised is not for the most part in women, but in the organization of the business. The women are not feeling well, says Anefur.

He says that the corona pandemic has led to a decline in sex trafficking, but that the police have seen some increase over the past week.
