Self-Proclaimed ‘Eunuch Maker’ Livestreamed Castration of Customers,
Sold Body Parts
Marius Gustavson reportedly must serve a minimum of 22 years in prison for his crimes —

A self-declared “eunuch maker” who castrated willing customers, sold body parts and livestreamed some of his crimes has been sentenced to life in prison by a U.K. court.
Marius Gustavson, 46, pleaded guilty to several crimes, including conspiring to commit grievous bodily harm, creating and distributing indecent images of a child and possessing extreme pornography.
Gustavson, who is Norwegian, was sentenced by a London court on Friday for engaging in various offenses that included genital mutilation, selling body parts and branding his victims.
Gustavson carried out his business through a website named “Eunuch Maker," which was set up for a subculture of men who voluntarily have their penis and testicles removed.
The business, which served customers from around the world between 2017 and 2021, garnered more than 22,000 subscribers and reportedly earned him $377,706.
On one occasion, Gustavson had three men remove his own penis with a knife which was filmed.
One victim told authorities in 2020 that he was electrocuted after being strapped to a bed, had his testicles clamped and was branded with “EM” initials, which stands for “eunuch maker.”
"On one occasion Gustavson cooked what appeared to be human testicles, which were then plated to be eaten, and kept other body parts as 'trophies'." Some of Gustavson's victims were as young as 16-years-old.
Gustavson's motivation for the crime was both “sexual gratification” and financial reward, the judge said.
The judge also said Gustavson was a “lunatic,” "an arch-manipulator" and “a butcher.”
Gustavson has to serve a minimum of 22 years.
Several others were sentenced to between four and 12 years in jail, including 67-year-old Peter Wates who had in his possession a butter box with genital parts inside when police searched his home.
