I don’t think that the wife is going to be too happy once he gets out of jail. Pay back will be a b#^$% as they say and I can almost guarantee that he’ll give her plenty of payback. That said he’s an idiot for having taped what amounts to “moral crimes” in Saudi Arabia as the moral enforcers there have real police powers unlike the moral majority here in the US so he’s lucky to get away with such a light sentence, if he survives the 100 lashes that is.
Providing he get's out of jail. 100 lashes can be a death sentence, depending on how they are delivered.
