Read our privacy policy A man who ran a “lucrative” extreme body modification website sharing gruesome footage of castrations and amputations had a freezer filled with ‘trophy’ body parts, a court heard. Marius Gustavson’s ‘Eunuch maker’ pay-per-view website shared footage of people undergoing “dangerous, unnecessary and life-changing surgeries” carried out in people’s homes – including male genitals being removed. The Old Bailey heard the extreme body modification enterprise operated on an unprecedented scale with a “staggering” 22,841 registered users and raked in almost £300,000 before it was shut down. Caroline Carberry KC, prosecuting, told the Old Bailey the men were involved in a “lucrative business in the dangerous, unnecessary and life-changing surgeries carried out by non-medically qualified individuals – the nature and scale of which is without precedent.” “All of these individuals were active in the extreme body modification or mutilation scene and the consensual or mutilation of male genitalia,” she added.
