Tunisian judicial sources reported the arrest of a citizen who presented himself as a "spiritual healer" after a television report aired in which he confessed to deceiving hundreds of women to engage in sexual relationships with them under false pretenses. The man, whose statements were broadcasted on Monday evening after being recorded by a journalist from the private channel "Al-Hewar Al-Tunisi," claimed to have convinced his victims that these sexual relationships were a cure for the problems they were facing.
According to Fatima Bouqetaya, spokesperson for the Ariana Court in the suburbs of Tunis, the man arrested on Tuesday was under investigation prior to the broadcasting of the report due to his suspicious activities on social media. He presents himself on his Facebook page under the name "Boulgha Kahouli," attracting his victims, all of whom are women, through social media platforms.
In the report aired on Monday evening, the man, who claims to have powers against "black magic," stated that his methods yield "guaranteed results," and he had "healed" between 800 and 900 women through "sexual sessions."
