Egypt Lawyer Jailed For Calling To Rape Women Who Wear Jeans

State prosecutors charged El-Wahsh with disrupting public peace and harming the public interest for his comments. Egypt only criminalized sexual harassment in 2014, with a maximum penalty of seven years in prison, reports Ahram.

Al-Wahsh is no stranger to controversy, and previously called the Holocaust "imaginary" and is openly anti-Semitic, stating on another television panel: "If I see any Israeli, I will kill him." A 2013 UN poll found that 99 percent of women in Cairo had reported sexual harassment at least once in their lives
