8 year oldThe Saudi teenager known online as Abu Sin, a nickname which translates as “toothless”, hardly knew any English while the 21-year-old girl from California did not know any Arabic. However, that was no obstacle to the pair’s attempts at conversation.
Abu Sin’s “flirty” conversations with Christina Crockett, a YouNow video blogger, quickly gained an audience of thousands of amused internet users, who followed the boy’s frantic efforts to flirt in broken English for months. The recorded chats garnered hundreds of thousands more views after they were uploaded on YouTube.
Accused of “unethical behavior” and a breach of Sharia law, Abu Sin was arrested by Saudi authorities on Sunday.
“Abu Sin is 19-years-old and he was arrested for unethical behavior. His videos received many comments and many of the commenters of the general public demanded for him to be punished for his actions,” Riyadh Police spokesman Col. Fawaz Al-Mayman said, Saudi Gazette reported.
