A woman who was raped by an alleged sorcerer in Saudi Arabia is appealing for executing her rapist who was sentenced to six months in jail.

In a report from the eastern province of Qatif on Sunday, Saudi newspapers said the woman told court that she went to the man’s house and stripped off her clothes because she was under his magic spell.

The court sentenced the unidentified rapist to six months in prison and 50 lashes with the whip after it could not find evidence of rape.

“The man told court he had a relationship with the woman, who could not prove her charges that he is a sorcerer,” Shams daily said.

It quoted the woman, who it did not identify, as saying:”This man is a sorcerer…he made me go to his house and take my clothes off without realizing what I am doing…I affirm my demand for his execution.”
