Rapist of nephew blames it on the devil

Saudi Arabia’s religious police men were infuriated when they caught a national man raping a 15-year-old boy in his car at dawn prayer time during the holy month of Ramadan.

Their anger turned into a shock when they learned the man is the boy’s uncle, who quickly blamed his act on the Devil.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice were on a routine dawn patrol near a mosque in the western town of Makkah when they noticed two persons on the back seat inside a nearby car.

“When they came close, they saw that the man was molesting the boy but he claimed he was teaching the boy how to drive,” 'Sabq' daily said on Saturday.

“But the man later confessed to his crime and told them that the Devil was there with them….the boy told the police that his uncle (father’s brother) had often given him money and presents to seduce him.”
