Briton Jailed for Gay Sex in Morocco
[Katherine Danks]
A 66-year-old British man has been jailed in Morocco for committing homosexual acts, Consular officials said today. Kenneth Watson was caught having sex on September 25 with an 18-year-old Moroccan man and a 16-year-old Moroccan boy said the British Embassy in Rabat.
The boy was released but Watson and the second Moroccan were sentenced to a year in prison by a court in the southern city of Taroudant. "One of the two boys was released because he was a minor but the second boy got the same sentence – one year in jail," a spokesman said.
Homosexuality is illegal in the North African nation but the area is a popular destination for sex tourists. The maximum sentence is three years in prison. The age of consent in Morocco is 18. The spokesman said Watson - a regular visitor to the area - was appealing his sentence.
