Three years in Moroccan jail for German sex tourist

A Moroccan court has jailed a German tourist for three years for having sex with a teenage boy whom he had paid about $11 and a packet of cigarettes. According to court officials and lawyers, the court in Agadir, southern Morocco's main tourist spot, also fined the unnamed man 5 000 Moroccan Dirhams ($550).

Reports say that the police caught the man earlier this month having sex with the teenager, and also discovered hundreds of pictures of teenagers and young men in sexually-suggestive positions.

The court convicted the man of paedophilia, inciting a minor to vice, fitting out a premises for vice and prostitution and fostering sex tourism.

The court also jailed two 20-year-old Moroccans for six and four months respectively for helping the German man find other young men.
