A Swedish court sentenced a 61-year-old man to four years and five months in prison on Tuesday for having "ruthlessly exploited" his wife to have sex with scores of men for payment.

The man was convicted of "aggravated pimping" as well as attempted rape, assault and issuing threats, as well as a minor drug offence, the court said in a statement, noting the actions took place over three years.

"The district court has found that the man was the one who initiated the woman's entry into prostitution and was also the person who handled most of the operation's administration," it said.
