DAMASCUS, August 9 (RIA Novosti) - Saudi Arabia has closed the Jeddah office of a Lebanon-based TV station after it broadcast an interview with a Saudi man who boasted about his sexual conquests, a government official said on Sunday.
The Saudi man, Mazen Abdul-Jawad, 32, was arrested last month after he shocked conservative Saudi society by talking about his sexual exploits on Lebanese channel LBC.
The divorced father of four spoke to camera, recounting details of his sexual conquests and talking about how he picked up women in the kingdom.
A spokesman for the Saudi ministry of culture and information confirmed that the decision to close the office of the LBC TV station had been made because of the interview.
Saudi Arabia is one of the most conservative countries in the Arab world and enforces strict sex segregation.
