Inside the disturbing ‘cult’ of extreme body modification gang where ‘eunuch maker’ cut off men’s genitals, nipples and other limbs for ‘lucrative’ website that amassed more than 22,000 paying users worldwide

Weeks of evidence have lifted the lid on what is surely one of the most depraved criminal conspiracies ever to reach the Old Bailey – an extreme body modification gang who cut off men’s genitals, nipples and limbs for paying online subscribers.
Through his ‘Eunuch Maker’ site, ringleader Marius Gustavson and other members of his ‘cult’ carried out at least 30 of the vile procedures on men who had been pressured and manipulated into having their bodies mangled while others watched.
But if you are thinking this is another freak oddity lurking on an obscure corner of the dark web, you’d be wrong…
Not only did the group have 22,000 paying subscribers (generating £300,000 in revenues) – they also conducted their sick trade completely in the open, with a public website accessible to anyone who stumbled upon it.
Front and centre of the whole operation was Gustavson, an ‘arch manipulator’ who collected a group of ‘acolytes’ attracted to the deviant business, according to prosecutors, by ‘the sexual element of the offending and financial gain’.
The Norwegian national, who had to have his leg amputated in February 2019 after getting a man to freeze it, claimed £18,000 in disability payments up until 2021 while living in north London.
He appeared for sentencing today alongside six other members of his gang, including his ‘right-hand man’ Peter Wates, a retired former member of the Royal Society of Chemists, and Janus Atkin, who had been completing a veterinary course.
Also facing jail are Romanian Ion Ciucur, 30, 61-year-old German Stefan Scharf, surgical assistant David Carruthers, 61, and his boyfriend Ashley Williams, both from South Wales.
Carruthers was involved in six procedures including four testicle removals. He worked for Ceredigion and Mid Wales NHS trust from 1991 to 2002 as a ‘domestic assistant’ but has no medical qualifications.
The charges against the men relate to 13 victims, who are being safeguarded by specialist detectives.
