Two life sentences for Danish 'clitoris collector'

A Danish man found with ‘female genitalia’ in his padlocked chest freezer has been sentenced to two life terms for the rape of a minor and conspiring to murder his wife. According to a TimesLIVE report, Peter Frederiksen‚ who is in his 60s‚ was convicted of 36 charges by the Free State High Court in South Africa in November 2017. Then he was described as ‘certainly not a man of high moral standing’ by Judge Johann Daffue. During sentencing‚ Daffue called him manipulative and charming when he wanted to be‚ who showed no remorse for his actions. The judge said: ‘Anyone who wants to make similar judgments in the future‚ should watch your videos and read your diaries. I have never felt so disgusted.’ The Dane was found guilty of assaulting his now deceased wife‚ Matseliso Molise; for possession of child pornography; possession of an unregistered anaesthetic drug and contravening the Immigration Act. He was also convicted of contravening the Firearms Control Act and illegal possession of firearms. After raiding his townhouse in Bloemfontein, police said they had discovered diaries from 2004 recounting the genital mutilation of women‚ and found anaesthetics as well as pieces of dried female genitalia on a hook. Charges related to the removal of human tissue were later dropped when the court found that the National Health Act was not clear about penalties for such transgressions. Molise was set to be the state’s star witness before she was gunned down in October 2015 outside her home in Maseru‚ Lesotho.
