Boy raped for blackmail

A Saudi man raped a 13-year-old boy and threatened that he would publish pictures of his naked body on the web if he refuses to give him part of his dead father’s inheritance, Kabar newspaper reported on Monday.

The 22-year man used his new play station as a bait to lure his teen age neighbour into his house in the central town of Makkah, it said.

He then raped him, photographed him naked with his mobile phone and threatened that he would put the photos online unless he brings him SR6,000.

“The boy paid him but he later demanded part of his dead father’s inheritance…he kept blackmailing him for weeks before the scared boy told his sister about him,” the newspaper said.

“His sister informed the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, which checked the boy’s mobile phone and saw 36 blackmail messages sent by that man…he was later arrested and handed over to the police.”
