Saudi Arabia’s religious police arrested a local man who tried to rape a teen age boy after extorting him with a film shot by the man, showing the boy getting undressed under gun point, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

The 16-year-old boy from the southern town of Khamis Mushait said he was forced by the man to strip off after he threatened him with a gun.

“He then filmed him by his mobile phone and threatened to send his pictures to the boy’s family unless he let him sleep with him,” Sabq daily said.

It said the boy reported the man to the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, which sent its members and arrested the man.
