Meaux: A 54-year-old Frenchman from Meaux, north of Paris, allegedly 'pimped out' his wife for sex with almost 3,000 men in four years.
The man made more than £5,000 a month through prostituting his wife, as reported by the Daily Mail.
His 46-year-old wife allegedly had sex with 2,742 different men upon her husband’s insistance, while he sat in the family car outside their home with his five-year-old child.
The man was said to have used internet websites and his phone to arrange men to have sex with his wife.
Emmanuel Dupic, prosecutor at the town’s criminal court, said: "The husband exercised a psychological power over his wife, preventing her from stopping submitting herself to the sexual needs of customers who were sometimes very rough."
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with pimping and now faces a decade in prison.
He has been released on bail but now faces a criminal trial for his actions.
In France, prostitution is legal but soliciting for clients - or pimping - is illegal.
