Woman Charged for Sex with Human Skeleton

A woman in western Sweden who was arrested after police found skeletons in her apartment has now been charged for using the bones as sex toys, a hobby she claimed was motivated by an interest in history. The 37-year-old woman, who was arrested in September, was formally charged for the crime of “violating the peace of the dead”.  However, a psychological evaluation of the woman shows that she is not mentally ill, at least not in any legal sense of the term. “She has a lot of photos of morgues and chapels, and documents about how to have sex with recently deceased and otherwise dead people,” Ehrenborg-Staffas told The Local. The woman pleaded not guilty and claimed she had not done anything illegal.

“She admits to having the bones, but says she collected them out of a historical and archaeological interest,” Ehrenborg-Staffas said. According to the prosecution, the woman has also sold skulls over the internet.  The latest transaction was between the woman and a person in Uppsala, eastern Sweden. The buyer had allegedly stocked up on three skulls and a spine. The strange case came to the attention of police by chance after they were informed that a gunshot had been fired from the woman’s apartment in September. She had also reportedly bragged to some nearby children about keeping knives and dead people in her apartment. When officers entered her apartment, they immediately called for back-up after finding skeleton parts and knives in the woman’s living room.
At first the woman was arrested on suspicion of murder, but these charges have now been changed to violating the peace of the dead.  Evidence included pictures from a morgue, which were found in a secret compartment in the woman's home, alongside body bags and a drill.
