Kenyan court has fined a German tourist for $15 dollars for having sex with a prostitute on the beach. The woman has been fined with the same amount.
Earlier defendants pleaded guilty to the offense of disturbing public order. Policemen arrested the tourist and the prostitute on the beach near one of Mombasa night clubs, in 500 km from Nairobi.
The judge stated that, Joachim Pasohier and Abdalla Chungwa will be imprisoned for 9 months if they fail to pay the fine.
Kenya's Indian Ocean coast is a popular tourist area; it attracts tens of thousands of European tourists. Having sex on the beach is considered to be one of the best variants of pastime, but local authorities have another point of view. |
