Tom Ketil Krogstad, who earlier was sentenced to a 16-month prison term for pimping activity, claims he's doing nothing illegal.
"There have been lots of gangbangs in Norway for many years," he told newspaper Aftenposten. "It's quite common with an entry fee... but today we've dropped the fee so there won't be any connection to prostitution." Prostitution is legal in Norway, but pimping is not.
Krogstad, known for being a promoter of organized sex-related events through his Club4 operation, willingly reveals that Saturday's event will involve two Norwegian women aged 26 and 35 and up to 40 men.
He claims the women have long "fantasized" about having sex with many men. Neither has previously participated in such a group sex event. "We'll carry on as long as the women want, and as long as the boys can," he said, adding the event may last from four to nine hours.
Krogstad had planned to charge an admission fee of NOK 500 per man (around USD 70), to cover rent and a NOK 5,000 prize to the woman considered "gangbang queen," but that's been dropped. Police remain skeptical.
"We can't just sit back and watch Krogstad promote a new event right after he's served his sentence for the last one," police inspector Harald Moholt told Aftenposten. "If the Club4 arrangement appears to be illegal, we'll stop it."
