JEDDAH: The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Haia) in Buraidah announced on Tuesday that it was able to rescue a Saudi girl from a blackmailer who threatened to show her messages and pictures to her family if she did not succumb to his sexual desires.
The commission said the frightened girl went to the Haia center in Qasim, who caught the blackmailer after an ambush. A spokesman added that the man admitted his crime, regretted his actions and pledged never to resort to such actions again.
The Haia said it took and destroyed all photographs of the girl and her messages and worked to protect the identity of the girl, who is about to get married.

Report abuseHa'ia is playing a very good role in the Saudi society.
In this particular case, what about the punishment to the girl and the boy? Since the news about this evil affair is out, there must be a suitable punishment for this pair. Or this will encourage others to indulge in such evils and later finish it off with the help of Haia.
The culprit is not the boy only, but the girl too. Even if she is getting married there is no reason not to punish her.
