JEDDAH: A young Saudi man has been sentenced to one year in jail for harassing and giving his number to women throughout Jeddah. He also targeted those who had come to spend Eid Al-Fitr on the Corniche.

A judge at Yanbu General Court handed out the punishment on Monday after the man's case was transferred to the court by the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Haia).

The Commission for Investigation and Public Prosecution in Yanbu had set the youth free on bail after completing investigations.

The court found the man guilty of several incidents in which he harassed women.

"After studying the various complaints against the young man and hearing the arguments of the public prosecutor, the judge gave a guilty verdict," a source told Arab News.

"The judge sentenced the man to a year's imprisonment, which will not be covered by general amnesty."

In a related development, Haia officials arrested a Bangladeshi national for practicing sorcery in Al-Eis, near Yanbu.

The commission sent one of its undercover agents who pretended to be affected by black magic. While the man was practicing his sorcery on the agent, Haia officials caught him red-handed.
