A 25-year-old woman from Egypt has been sent to three years in jail for sexually harassing a monkey. The woman, Basma Ahmed was charged with “inciting debauchery” and “committing an obscene act in public”.

She was arrested in October after a 90-second video of the incident went viral, Al-Ahram said.

The video sparked a fierce backlash online.
