A 38-year-old woman is sentenced by Odense district court to one year in prison for pimping and human exploitation.

This is the first time someone is sentenced for human exploitation in Denmark, according to a press release from Fyn's police.

The woman has been behind two girls – a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old – working at several different brothels during the autumn of 2023.

According to the district court, the woman has made herself guilty of human exploitation against the 17-year-old girl who worked under "completely unreasonable conditions".

The woman is also sentenced to pay 30,000 kronor to both girls.
