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”.
An Egyptian court has sentenced a 25-year-old woman to three years in prison after a video of the incident went viral on internet.
She was arrested in October after a 90-second video of the incident went viral, Al-Ahram said.

The video shows Ahmed laughing while touching the genitals of a monkey at a pet shop in the Nile Delta city and making sexual innuendos as people around her chuckle.
At court, she “confessed… to the incident but said she did not mean to commit an indecent act and that she had been tickling the monkey”.
The video sparked a fierce backlash online.
