Résumé en français: un camionneur égyptien a été condamné à trois ans de travaux forcés. Motif: il avait agressé sexuellement une touriste dont il avait touché les seins alors qu'elle circulait en ville. Condamnation exemplaire, qui va faire réfléchir les agresseurs éventuels. Peut-être un peu sévère, certains et certaines suggèrent que la peine soit réduite si le délinquant fait des excuses publiques à la télévision. Un "mix" de travaux forcés et d'humiliation publique pourrait être encore plus dissuasif.

 Personally , i think that the sentence of three years of hard labor for this man is indeed very harsh ,  although it is really justified.

In fact , you are quite right because it will certainly frighten and deter many men who think they have the right to harass women sexually . Men must respect women's dignity and learn that they can't decide to grope women as they want ! Such behavior can't be tolerated in Egypt and in other countries ! I agree with the idea of a panel of members of women's rights groups who can decide after his public apologies to all women , to ask the judge to reduce the sentence to three or four months only ..but with hard labor during this time.I think it is a good deal ! From my point of view , the best decision against this kind of men is that : 1 ) they will have to apologize publicy on tv , as you suggested before ..

                     2) they also have to apologize to a group of selected women , every week or month during long sessions and then they would be criticized by these women; They would try to show that they are remorseful and understand that they need to be punished for this.These kinds of men have to learn that sexual harassment is a serious crime against women's dignity !!!

Thousands of comments have been made on hundreds of Websites in the past few months. Most people find this landmark decision of an Egyptian court entirely justified, not only because the perpetrator, Sherif Goma'a, deserves to be punished, but also because the severity of the sentence will certainly 1) deter many woukd-be "gropers" 2) encourage women to fight back and to haul their aggressors to court. Still, a number of commentators agree with us that three years in jail, with hard labor, is way too long, and that the sentence could be shortened if the criminal is forced to apologize on TV, or to clean the streets in his hometown, carrying a sign "I have assaulted a woman sexually". This kind of "public shaming" would surely make most men think twice before they decide to harass women. They love to insult women and to humiliate them, but they would hate to be humiliated!.
