A Saudi woman was sentenced to receive 100 lashes and one year in prison after she was gang raped, a District Court judge there has ruled.
The 23-year-old woman confessed to having forced intercourse with her attackers after she accepted a ride from one of the men.
The man took her to a house east of the city of Jeddah where she was repeatedly raped by him and four of his friends throughout the night, according to the Saudi Gazette.
The judge ruled that she had committed adultery, despite that she was not even married, and handed down the floggings and prison sentence.
The incident was uncovered after the young woman became pregnant from the ordeal and tried to obtain an abortion at the King Fahd Hospital for Armed Forces.
She won’t be flogged until after she gives birth. Please click here for the original article
