Egypt TV host jailed for false debauchery claims
An Egyptian television presenter has been sentenced to six months in jail for falsely accusing 26 men of debauchery in an undercover report from a public bathhouse, lawyers and state media say Thursday.
The men were arrested in a night-time raid on the Cairo bathhouse in December after the female presenter, Mona Iraqi, tipped off police, claiming it had become a “den of male sex.”
Iraqi filmed the raid, including footage of the near-naked men. The film was broadcast days later on private Al-Qahira Wel Nas satellite television.
