A Swedish MP had a secret life as a prostitute when she was a student in the 1970s.
The politician's past is revealed in a new documentary, Sex for Sale to Rich Men, on Swedish television.
She tells how she slept with famous figures including police chiefs and a government minister.
The MP, said to be well-known in Sweden, keeps her anonymity by having her lines read by an actress.
She is quoted as saying: "I was young and naive and had no perspectives. My clients were famous journalists, police chiefs and one minister.
"The minister did not brag about who he was. He was like all the other men."
Author Deanne Rauscher is writing a book about the brothel where the MP worked.
She knows the politician well and told Aftonbladet: "She studied while trying to support herself working as a prostitute.
"She has children who know nothing. How much fun would it be for them to learn that their mother used to be a prostitute?"
