He was arrested after filming her body and extorting money from her

A Saudi girl who went to see a would-be suitor discovered later that rape and blackmail rather than marriage was in store for her.

The girl was told by a woman she knew through social media that her brother is looking for a wife and that she can see him at their family’s apartment.

After she was let in, a massive man with dark features lunged forward and started to punch her before raping her. After he finished, he filmed the girl naked and sent the pictures to her mobile phone on the next day.

In a report from the Northwestern Saudi town of Tabuk, Sabq Arabic language newspaper quoted the girl as saying the man extorted more than SR17,000 (Dh17,000) from her after threatening to publicise her photographs.

“I had no choice but to pay…in the end, he demanded SR200,000 after he knew that I have inherited land,” the unnamed girl told the paper.

She said she finally decided to inform the Islamic police, who trapped the man and arrested him with her help.

“He told me to sell the land and give him the money…I was told by the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice to pretend that I agreed…I went to the land department and found him waiting for me there…Commission members then swooped on and arrested him,” she said.
