Saudi 'sorcerer' who raped 100 sentenced to death

A Saudi man who reportedly raped more than 100 women after posing as a spell-caster to lure them into his clutches has been sentenced to death, Saudi media reported on Wednesday.

Published: 4:16PM GMT 20 Jan 2010

The "Qatif sorcerer" was originally sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes, but after more victims came forth the sentence was changed to execution, Al-Riyadh newspaper reported.

The man, whose name was not given, terrified women around the eastern city of Qatif for several years.

He first drew them in by saying he could cast love spells, but then surreptitiously filmed their meeting and used his work for extortion and to rape them, according to Arab News.

Authorities found hidden cameras and some 200 videotapes and 180 computer disks with footage of his victims in his home, Arab News reported.

He may have tricked as many as 350 women, according to Al-Riyadh.

These people are insane savages. Why do we tolerate their ridiculous beliefs as a religion of some sort?

This is Saudi ~ those women don't often hear any sort of "line" so whadda' they know.

Every now and then you'll find someone taking advantage of Saudi's strange social conventions ~ this guy wins the prize!

Execution will be swift per Saudi law. No sitting on death row for 10 years. Beheading is still the official means of execution and the public is invited to attend. You can get right up to the platform if you so desire.

Even with a woman as "half a witness", with 350 women involved, there are 175 witnesses ~ and it only takes 2 witnesses to this particular crime to get a conviction.

I think they're pulling the execution part out their rear ends, but their decision is not wrong!

They’ll do that later - or talk them into becoming suicide bombers — since they lost their virginity to Harry Muhammad...

Thousand lashes sounds like a death sentence.

I'm going to guess the man is not from a prominent family, and a number of his victims are from prominent families. It works differently then.

The belief in the powers of a so-called sorcerer shows how close these people are to their pagan roots.
