Australia: New Assault Allegations Made Against Muslim Prayer Leader During Ramadan Visit
Here’s an update on the Muslim prayer leader from Egypt who blamed his sexual assaults in Australia on “cultural differences” …
By Rachel Olding, The Sydney Morning Herald – “A visiting Muslim prayer leader who groped two teenagers and a grandmother on the northern beaches is facing fresh allegations of indecently assaulting two other women.
Ahmed Abdelshafy Mohamed El-Kahly, who has been visiting a mosque in Dee Why to lead evening prayers during the month of Ramadan, has appealed to a magistrate to be sentenced quickly for the crimes so he can return home to Egypt on Friday.
Magistrate Michael Barbour denied the request, saying he would require a pre-sentencing report to determine the seriousness of the charges, which may take several days.
His decision came as police revealed in North Sydney Local Court on Monday they are investigating further complaints from two women they were indecently assaulted by the 59-year-old sheikh.
El-Kahly pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting a 16-year-old girl in a Dee Why reserve last Monday and a 16-year-old girl and 57-year-old woman on Dee Why beach last Wednesday…
Outside court, El-Kahly’s lawyer, Rick Mitry, said his client was highly distressed and needed to return to Egypt on Friday to avoid losing the cost of his air fare.
El-Kahly will be sentenced on September 16.” Read more.
