Bente Lyon is a Norwegian convicted of narcotics trafficking, and she has been convicted of organizing a brothel in Norway from 2000 to 2002. She has worked as a prostitute. In 2006 she was portrayed on NRK's TV show "Bokprogrammet" in connection with her book Horemamma (female manager of whore/whores). NRK's website says that the book is about Lyon's "time of greatness as Oslo's brothel queen". An article in Dagbladet in 2006 called her "Norway's uncontested brothel keeper" (Norges ubestridte bordellmamma).
