A Saudi court sentenced a local man for 12 years in jail and ordered him lashed 1,200 times with the whip for raping a teen age boy, a newspaper in the Gulf country reported on Saturday.
The unnamed Saudi, in his 30s, snatched off the 12-year-old boy near his house in the central town of Makkah and took him to a deserted area, where he raped him under the influence of alcohol.
“The judge gave him a tough sentence as the man already had a record at the police,” Okaz said.
