THE TELEGRAPH: Mazen Abdul-Jawad, a Saudi who bragged about his sexual exploits on a TV show, has been sentenced to five years in prison and 1,000 lashes.
Mr Abdul-Jawad appeared on a Lebanese chat show, Bold Red Line, in July. In the programme, which could be seen by TV viewers in ultra-conservative Saudi Arabia, he described how he first had sex when he was 14 and showed off sex toys before discussing his exploits with other men.
His lawyer, Sulaiman al-Jumeii, said he plans to appeal against the Riyadh court's ruling and is confident the sentence against his client, which includes a ban on travel and talking to the media for five years after his release, will be revoked. >>> | Wednesday, October 07, 2009
