Istanbul: A Turkish Muslim televangelist who appeared on TV and gave religious preachings with scantily-clad women accompanying him, has been sentenced to 1000 years in jail for various sex crimes, a local Turkish media reported.
The preacher identified as Adnan Oktar preached conservative views while he called the women accompanying him his “kittens” – many of whom appeared to have had plastic surgery and danced around him in the TV studio.
