A Norwegian man — known as the “Eunuch Maker” — made hundreds of thousands of dollars live-streaming castrations performed by himself.
In one instance, Marius Gustavson, 45, severed a man’s penis then clamped the testicles of another.
Gustavson, on trial in London, pleaded guilty to two charges of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. Cops say he made around $300,000 streaming his extreme “body modifications.”
And like Sy Sperling in the old Hair Club for Men commercials, Gustavson was also a customer: He removed his own penis and nipple and then uploaded the action to his Eunuch Maker website.
According to the Daily Mail, Gustavson’s bizarre practice is linked to a subculture. The object for participants is to become a “Nullo,” short for genital nullification, by having their penis and testicles removed.
There were allegedly 29 extreme body modifications, removal of body parts and trade in the macabre rites with eight other men.
Gustavson pleaded guilty Friday to conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm, two counts of causing grievous bodily harm and one count of possessing criminal property (money). He also copped to two child pornography beefs.
He pleaded not guilty to three counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
His penis pal and alleged “right-hand man,” a British surgeon named Peter Wates, 66, has admitted conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm. Wates was the surgeon in most of the procedures. A number of other men have also been charged.
And Gustavson has suffered for his art. In addition to losing his penis and testicles, the Norwegian also had his leg amputated when it was frozen by another participant in the sick scheme. Two men were convicted of removing his penis and nipple.
There were an estimated 13 victims, cops say. The suspects are slated to return to court in November.
