No one will ever accuse a Saudi Judge of being soft on child molesters.

Saudi court upholds child rapist crucifixion ruling
Tue Nov 3, 2009 2:22pm
RIYADH (Reuters) - A Saudi court of cassation upheld a ruling to behead
and crucify a 22-year-old man convicted of raping five children and
leaving one of them to die in the desert, newspapers reported on Tuesday.

The convict was arrested earlier this year after a seven-year old boy
helped police in their investigation. The child left in the desert after
the rape was three years old, Okaz newspaper said.

International rights groups have accused the kingdom, the birthplace of
Islam, of applying draconian justice, beheading murderers, rapists and
drug traffickers in public. So far this year about 40 people have been
executed in Saudi Arabia.

In Saudi Arabia, crucifixion means tying the body of the convict to wooden
beams to be displayed to the public after beheading.
