The security forces at the Giza Security Directorate in Egypt successfully arrested a Quran teacher accused of harassing several girls inside a Quran memorization center in the Badrashin area, south of the governorate.
The incident began when officers from the Badrashin police station received a complaint from a girl stating that she had received harassment messages via the "WhatsApp" application from an unknown number. Upon tracing the number, the security apparatus discovered it belonged to a Quran teacher residing within the jurisdiction of the Badrashin police station, after legal procedures were taken and prior permission was obtained from the public prosecution.
The suspect was apprehended, and an examination of his phone revealed video clips of him harassing female students in the Quran memorization center.
Further investigations revealed new surprises in the case involving an imam in Giza accused of harassing minors and secretly recording them. "Sheikh Mustafa" was not merely a Quran teacher; he was also a lawyer, a religious singer, and a personal development trainer.
Investigations indicated that "Sheikh Mustafa" exploited his religious status to harass girls and record them without their knowledge, according to Egyptian media today. The suspect, who is 32 years old, is married with children and worked at a Quran memorization center in Badrashin. He inadvertently sent a sexual message to one of the girls who was memorizing the Quran with him.
The girl's father did not hesitate to file a complaint, prompting the criminal investigation department to examine the incident and confirm its authenticity. Upon arrest, the suspect admitted during the investigation that he filmed the girls while harassing them and transferred these clips to both his phone and personal computer. He indicated that he retained these clips to watch later to release his sexual energy.
The arrest of the Quran teacher came as a shock to the residents of Badrashin, Egypt, especially since he was a familiar and respected figure in the community. Investigations confirmed his involvement in sending sexual harassment messages to girls, which led to his arrest and referral to the public prosecution for further investigation.
