Public prosecutors on Tuesday ordered that a high-profile dentist be referred to criminal trial over sexually harassing four men. Prosecutors referred the dentist to court based on the testimony of six witnesses and video clips found on his phone of the victims. The Egyptian Interior Ministry announced in January the arrest of a famous dentist on charges of sexual harassment and misconduct against male patients and visitors to his clinic. Several patients and artists have brought forth claims of sexual harassment and extortion against the dentist, including actor/screenwriter Abbas Abul-Hassan and singer/songwriter Tameem Youness. He stated that this incident has made him stand with all women who keep silent after being sexual assaulted.
