British tourist sentenced to one year in jail for lewed behaviour

Agadir's first instance tribunal sentenced Friday a British tourist to one year in jail and a 500 Dh (US$ 55) fine for homosexual practices and corruption of a minor.

Watson Kenneth, 66, was arrested on September 25 red-handed with B.W., 18, who was handed the same sentence. The tribunal cancelled charges against another minor caught with them.

The Brit had said during his interrogation that he has visited Taroudant many times for 18 years and started his vicious behavior 5 years ago. He admitted going to Taroudant and Thailand for the same purposes.
