The Mansoura Misdemeanor Court on Thursday sentenced a housewife to three years in prison for sexually harassing a monkey in a pet shop in Mansoura city, al-Dakahlia governorate, by touching its genitals. The court charged her with inciting sedition and provoking emotions and lewd acts in public. The police identified the suspect and found that she is named Nesma, 25, and a resident of a village in Dakahlia. She, with help from a friend who recorded the video, made moves to arouse the monkey sexually while it was in a cage in a shop by fondling its genitals. She said she did not know how the video clip went viral on social media, adding that it had been on the phone of one of her friends.
