Saudi man arrested for TV sex talk

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia, July 25 (UPI) -- A Saudi Arabian man has been arrested for bragging about his sexual conquests and techniques on television, officials say.

Mazen Abdul Jawad has been taken into custody in Jeddah after talking in graphic detail about his sexual escapades on a show on Lebanese channel LBC, the English-language daily Arab News reported Saturday.

The newspaper said the episode of "Red Line," which has been posted online, shows Jawad discussing sex and foreplay in graphic detail and talking about an aphrodisiac recipe, telling the camera as he gets into a vehicle, "It all starts with turning my Bluetooth on while cruising around in my car."

Arab News said dozens of people filed complaints against Jawad at a court in Jeddah, alleging that not only has he confessed to pre-marital sex, but also violated another tenet of Shariah law by publicizing his sinful behavior.

"It is wrong to host people on television to speak publicly about vice and issues against our religion," Ahmad Qasim Al-Ghamdi, director of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, told Arab News. "The program presents anomalies and deviancy in society that are unacceptable and immoral and should be punished according to Shariah."
