How many here have children? I do. I see nothing wrong with this form of punishment.
I wonder how many of the bleeding hearts have children?
I can't imagine too many PARENTS disagreeing with the sentence.

Rape is a complicated issue in Saudi Arabian crime statistics. Rape is reportedly low, at 59 reported cases per year[75]. The low number of reported rapes may be due to the harsh sentences meted out by the state to rape victims,

I admit it might not deter all the paedos but it does keep their numbers very low compared to the Western paedos.
Well lets look at the crime rates in Saudi.

I hate to say it but I expect your number is wrong.... given that the average is estimated at around 117 children molested per abuser.
So how many more did this guy abuse? indeed how many more did he kill before he was caught, these people are and will always be monsters.

The operative word in your quote is "may". I submit that perhaps another reason that so few rapes/sexual assaults are reported is the very real fear of the victims may be "blamed" for the crime in some way.
There is no way that the average child molester molests 117 different children.

Unless they live in or near regions that have child prostitution. That is a possibility no? It would make sense (evil twisted sense) that they would gravitate to areas that have child prostitution, no?
So yeah, there is definitely a way.
This is a three-year study of 280 identified juvenile sexual abusers, more than 90 per cent male. Abusing had very occasionally begun as young as at five-and-a-half years, although 14 years was average. More than half had abused victims five years younger than themselves and the majority abused female victims. There are great similarities in the behaviour of young abusers and adult offenders. Most had abused relatives, friends and acquaintances. In more than half the cases there had been penetration, masturbation and oral sex; one-third used verbal coercion. In some cases there had been co-abusers.
