On March 10, the police arrested mother and daughter, aged 30 and 46, after scouting and investigating tips that sex was being sold at their four massage parlors.
Today, the women are being prosecuted for gross procuring and the prosecutor believes that the activities have been extensive and have been going on for more than a year.
- They have promoted and financially exploited that employees in the salons have mediated sexual services for a fee, and they have made a significant profit, says Per Svensson.
Six men are charged with buying sex - more charges await
Six men will be prosecuted for buying sexual services and more will be prosecuted later.
Several of them have been repeat customers and all those involved in the first indictment have admitted.
- It has happened daily and to as much as every other customer, according to what the women told.
"Will demand a tangible prison sentence"
The minimum sentence for aggravated procuring is two years' imprisonment, Per Svensson believes that in this case it should be above that.
- These are several salons and have resulted in a significant gain so it will be relevant with a tangible prison sentence in my claim.
Defense lawyer: "She has not earned a buck"
The two accused women deny any wrongdoing.
They should not have been aware that there were sexual services in the salons.
- She has not earned a buck on any sex purchases, the women in such a case have kept the money themselves, says her lawyer Per Eriksson.
How is she?
- She has been in custody for three months and has been taken, but the will to fight is great before the trial that comes here after midsummer.
- It is the same attitude as before, my client denies the crime.
On what grounds will I report at the trial, says the 30-year-old woman's lawyer Karl-Gustav Elwe.
The trial is set to begin on June 28.
