Man jailed for sex talk on TV

A SAUDI man was jailed for five years and sentenced to 1,000 lashes yesterday for bragging about his sex life on TV.

Talking about sex publicly is forbidden in the ultra-conservative country but Mazen Abdul-Jawad’s lawyer said he will appeal.

Sulaiman al-Jumeii said Abdul-Jawad was duped by the Lebanese LBC satellite channel which aired the talk show and was unaware at times he was being recorded.
