The Saudis understand what it takes to deter crime. Too bad we have become so “civilized” we’ve forgotten.
But it’s odd that they regard sodomy of a boy child a crime if the religion views them as ‘pearls of eternal freshness’. Also, it’s not problematic for a man to sodomize a boy so long as that boy hasn’t hit puberty/doesn’t have facial hair. Something is odd with this case. I suspect it has to do with the boy’s father having been killed.
