Above is a 60 second summary - of the legal case of the sugar daddy who cheated and raped his victims.
The man was arrested in August 2021, suspected of cheating and preying on a large number of women.
He got in touch with the women on a sugar dating site and in many cases he bought train tickets for the women who went to his home in western Värmland.
He has admitted buying sexual services and fraud but has always denied rape - something he maintains even after the verdict.
The Court of Appeal increased the prison sentence
In October 2022, the Court of Appeal for Western Sweden toughened the district court's sentence for Markus Halvorson.
In total, he was convicted by the Court of Appeal of 13 counts of rape against nine women, purchase of sexual services on eleven occasions, two counts of fraud and one count of aggravated fraud.
Something that makes him one of the worst serial rapists in Swedish criminal history.
He was sentenced to five years in prison and must pay a total of just over SEK 1.9 million in damages to the women.
The man was acquitted by the Court of Appeal in a case of negligent rape and a case of rape.
Markus Halvorson has previously been sentenced to a total of 15 years in prison for various cases of fraud and pimping.
