A Saudi court sentenced a Bangladeshi grocer for two years and ordered him lashed 205 times with the whip after he was convicted of trying to blackmail a married Saudi woman into sleeping with him, a newspaper said on Thursday.

The unnamed woman, the sole supporter of her children, had told police that she trusted the man when he started giving her free stuff from his ship for her children, Kabar Arabic language daily said.

“He then managed to get indecent photos of her on his mobile phone through her son and started to ask her to sleep with him,” it said.

“The woman then told the police who arrested the man and charged him of blackmailing a poor married woman.”
