Man gets five years for filming naked teenager

A Saudi court sentenced a local man for five years in jail and 500 lashes with the whip for photographing a naked teen age boy, a newspaper in the Gulf Kingdom reported on Sunday.

The unnamed young man got the first batch of the lashes just after Friday’s open air prayers in northern Saudi Arabia, Sharq said.

“The man was lashed in front of all people after Friday’s prayers…he will get the remaining lashes in batches every Friday,” it said without giving details of his offence.
