TV Preacher Bags 8,658 Years Imprisonment
In a retrial, an Istanbul court sentenced a Muslim televangelist who surrounded himself with scantily clad women he referred to as “kittens” to 8,658 years in prison on Wednesday, according to local media.
Adnan Oktar hosted television shows while surrounded by women wearing a lot of makeup and wearing very little clothing, preaching creationism and conservative values.
The 66-year-old was sentenced to 1,075 years in prison last year for crimes such as sexual assault, sexual abuse of minors, fraud, and attempted political and military espionage.

However, an appeals court overturned that decision.
During the retrial, the Istanbul High Criminal Court sentenced Oktar to 8,658 years in prison on a variety of charges, including sexual abuse and deprivation of liberty, according to the Anadolu news agency.
The court also sentenced ten other suspects to 8,658 years in prison, according to the agency.
Oktar, whom critics see as a cult leader, rose to prominence through his programs on the online A9 television channel and was frequently condemned by Turkey’s religious leaders.
In a major crackdown on his organization, he was arrested in Istanbul in 2018 as part of an investigation by the city’s police financial crimes unit.
