WOMAN CAGED FOR TOSSING OFF MONKEY
MUM CAGED FOR SEX WITH MONKEY
A WOMAN has been jailed for three years for wanking off a monkey in a pet shop.
A court charged Basma Ahmed, 25, with “inciting debauchery” and “committing an obscene act in public”.
She was arrested in October after a 90- second video of the incident went viral, particularly among young people and students.
The video shows Ahmed laughing while touching the genitals of a monkey at a pet shop in Mansoura city, Egypt, and making sexual innuendos as people around her chuckle.
Despite confessing to the incident in court, she said she did not mean to commit an indecent act and that she had actually been “tickling” the monkey.
Backlash
The video sparked a fierce backlash online in the conservative Muslim country.
Ahmed was initially detained for four days, but public prosecutors increased the period to 15 days to “further investigate the case”.
Officials said that Ahmed is not a first- time offender and has previously been charged in two other “public moral” cases.
In her statement to regional prosecutors, the defendant claimed she had not meant to abuse the animal and had been surprised by its reaction.
She also claimed that although one of her friends had filmed her, the video had been posted on the internet without her knowledge.
