CAIRO – 15 July 2021: The Cairo Criminal Court sentenced on Thursday a male dentist to 16 years in prison over harassing men including celebrities in his clinic. The dentist faced accusations of indecent assault, which is less severe than rape, and of harassment. The prosecution said it arrested the defendant, interrogated him and showed him the technical evidence he faces. It added that it found on his phone other technical evidence that endorses the accusations. Last year, the Egyptian government ratified a draft law that guarantees the secrecy of testimonies made by victims of harassment, rape and sexual assault.
