Tehran’s police chief jailed after being caught — with six naked hookers

Dallying with one hooker when you’re the chief law enforcement officer of your jurisdiction? Disgraceful. Dallying with six hookers? Darned impressive. This story’s actually a few weeks old but it was swallowed up by Spitzergate in the U.S. and seemed just dubious enough to qualify as apocryphal — until now. Say this much for the guy: The Shiite fanatic’s way of dealing with his urges sure seems a lot healthier than the Sunni’s.

How did today become fundamentalist sexcapades day on HA, anyway?

Local media reported that General Reza Zarei was jailed after being caught with six naked women at a prostitution den in the Iranian capital.

Ali Reza Jamshidi, a spokesman for Iran’s judiciary, confirmed today that Mr Zarei had been taken to jail. He refused to elaborate further about the case, however, saying it was now “in the legal stage.”

But officials, speaking anonymously, have supported the allegations, which have been extensively reported in recent weeks…

Mr Zarei was in charge of a program to clean cities from corruption and in recent months had reported arrests of young men and women for illicit relationships and not respecting the Islamic dress code…

The rise in prostitution has led to suggestions that brothels be legalised and monitored. Some Iranians say brothels could be run according to Islamic rules, perhaps under the Shiite Muslim tradition which allows men and women to enter into “temporary marriages”, sometimes for less than 24 hours.

Obligatory exit question with all Iranian scandals: Might the charges here have been trumped up as a pretext to destroy a political enemy? Exit answer: With all the crimes and taboos available under shari’a with which to smear Zarei, is accusing him of scoring a menage a sept really the way to go?

Does this mean he’ll only have 66 virgins waiting for him when he dies?

exhelodrvr on April 15, 2008 at 4:55 PM

40 lashes for him and obviously, death by stoning for the rest.

awake on April 15, 2008 at 4:55 PM

Doesn’t Islam allow them to marry women/hookers for like an hour or something?

Guess he must have forgotten to do the wedding ceremony:)

anne on April 15, 2008 at 4:56 PM

Wowza! I’d have been dead long before the police kicked in the door.

Limerick on April 15, 2008 at 4:57 PM

hmmm…6 naked hookers….I wonder how much they go for in tehran for the hour…I wonder if they subtract 6 from his 72 virgins in heaven…so now he only gets 66 in heaven….oh wait that would be assuming that the hookers were already virgins, and im pretty sure they wouldnt be….all this thinking is making my head hurt…I need some coffee

damn you beat me to it

SoCalInfidel on April 15, 2008 at 4:58 PM

What good is it being the chief of police if you can’t enjoy your six hookers without fear of arrest?

paul006 on April 15, 2008 at 5:02 PM

Rove, you magnificent bastard.

indythinker on April 15, 2008 at 5:05 PM

He was just checking out the merchandise before he made a decision about buying the farm.

knat on April 15, 2008 at 5:06 PM

Maybe one woman was there to provide sex, and the other five were there to keep his blindfold from falling off.

RBMN on April 15, 2008 at 5:06 PM

I thought they didn’t have hookers in his country…oh right that was gays.

Ciannaky on April 15, 2008 at 5:06 PM

Iran–the only country you lose your head for getting head.

JiangxiDad on April 15, 2008 at 5:11 PM

Perhaps he wants to run for Governor of New York?

Tony737 on April 15, 2008 at 5:11 PM

The Tehran’s police chief’s lawyer mentioned that previous Tehran’s police chief’s were not prosecuted for previous cases of being caught — with six naked hookers, and advocated that no charges should be brought. He resigned, after all.

Oddly enough, the Tehran’s police chief’s lawyer’s last client was Elliot Spitzer. Small world.

wise_man on April 15, 2008 at 5:11 PM

An Iranian hooker? Oh baby, you have sexy ankles and you give the best eyeball.

Claypigeon on April 15, 2008 at 5:11 PM

Some Iranians say brothels could be run according to Islamic rules, perhaps under the Shiite Muslim tradition which allows men and women to enter into “temporary marriages”, sometimes for less than 24 hours.

And they call us infidels? Some moral authority they’ve got there…

someguy on April 15, 2008 at 5:14 PM

Were they black eyed hookers with soft, soft skin on musk pillows? Maybe he was just having a religious experience.

trubble on April 15, 2008 at 5:15 PM

When I was in the Air Force, I knew a guy who’d been stationed in Saudi Arabia. He said there were these “tobacco stores” that have MALE brothels in the back! So the smokers would only buy cigs on base. He said a taxi driver told him “You Americans are weird, you don’t make love to men. Making love to a woman is a chore, making love to a man is a pleasure.” He said “Stop the car! I’ll walk the rest of the way.” haha

Tony737 on April 15, 2008 at 5:25 PM

How did today become fundamentalist sexcapades day on HA, anyway?

Well, if it is, in fairness you probably ought to repost that infamous video clip of Ted Haggard — you know, the one where he informs the interviewer that the members of evangelical Christian mega-churches always have vastly superior sex lives — compared to the rest of the population.

No? Don’t you think Haggard has as much entertainment value as a Muslim cleric?

My collie (nodding in approval) says:

It’s more entertaining than Hitchens telling us that the lust for power is really all about the lust for sex.

Hitchens and the atheists just can’t compete in this arena, can they?

CyberCipher on April 15, 2008 at 5:25 PM

Scott Horton will throw up 6,000 words claiming that Rove and the Bush DoJ set this guy up.

And I do mean throw up.

SteveMG on April 15, 2008 at 5:30 PM

Scott Horton will throw up 6,000 words claiming that Rove and the Bush DoJ set this guy up.

Which would make it torture.

HA! I saw a collie in the back of an SUV in the parking lot of a store today. I stopped and let him sniff my hand and petted him … then asked him if he was Cipher’s collie and could he talk? Mrs.737 looked at me and said “What are you smoking?” My answer, ‘HotAir’, of course!

Tony737 on April 15, 2008 at 5:34 PM

They say the best way to get in shape for a marathon is to never run one.

Patrap on April 15, 2008 at 5:36 PM

Hmmm…

We know what they cut off for stealing… Can we guess what gets cut off for this? And can it be cutoff 6 times?

In a halal way, of course….

darkpixel on April 15, 2008 at 5:37 PM

Question: What’s in Islam for women?? Do they get 72 of anything if they toe the line?

landlines on April 15, 2008 at 5:42 PM

Pictures?

TheSitRep on April 15, 2008 at 5:47 PM

Hey guys, he was just doing his job by going undercover (or under burkha).

6 prostitutes, well that breaks my record for prostitutes, by about . . . 6.

rbj on April 15, 2008 at 5:47 PM

Are any of the hookers able to walk upright? Did they mention the gender of the hookers? Just ask’n ……

David in ATL on April 15, 2008 at 5:50 PM

Tehran’s police chief jailed after being caught — with six naked hookers

Next stop: Albany, NY, as Governor!

Branch Rickey on April 15, 2008 at 5:59 PM

If they weren’t naked then they wouldn’t be very good hookers now, would would they?

72 rocks delivered at high velocity.

ErikTheRed on April 15, 2008 at 6:08 PM

At least his wife can hide behind her burka during the tearful public apology.

That’s baaahaaaahaaaahaaaad.

ErikTheRed on April 15, 2008 at 6:10 PM

Anyone who clings to 6 naked hookers must be really really bitter.

Chuck Schick on April 15, 2008 at 6:11 PM

I guess he wanted his “virgins” early. 66 more to look forward to when the Islamic Courts get through with him.

RobCon on April 15, 2008 at 6:11 PM

RBMN on April 15, 2008 at 5:06 PM

More likely to keep her blindfold from coming off. Of course, I’m being generous and assuming this was a hetero encounter…

ErikTheRed on April 15, 2008 at 6:12 PM

I didn’t know that the Pussycat Dolls were in Tehran.

Bill Clinton would give this guy the Medal of Freedom.

Tony737,

Puts a different spin on the “smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em” expression, doesn’t it?

exhelodrvr on April 15, 2008 at 6:37 PM

Ahhh… come on…

He’s just practicin up for later…..

6 now… then ohhhh… 20…

so he’s ready for 72 when he dies…

Romeo13 on April 15, 2008 at 6:51 PM

Mr Zarei was in charge of a program to clean cities from corruption

He was working under cover.

Johan Klaus on April 15, 2008 at 6:52 PM

I wonder if heads will roll?

An audible combination of eeeewww and hahaha just eminated from me, I guess that would be —> LeeeOwwwwL!

Tony737 on April 15, 2008 at 7:06 PM

Here is a good article, or half-article to us nonsubscribers, describing the plight of Iranian girls who drift into prostitution.

aengus on April 15, 2008 at 8:08 PM

If a police chief salary in Iran buys 6 hookers how many Iranian hookers could Spitzer afford at once? 2-300?

I’m too bitter to do the math.

Bicyea on April 15, 2008 at 8:20 PM

Magnificant bastard.

Hog Wild on April 15, 2008 at 8:23 PM

Maybe the Iranian police chief was,oh I dunno
doing research,or (smirk) a documentry for
the Iranian (sarc)school system!

canopfor on April 15, 2008 at 9:52 PM

He refused to elaborate further about the case, however, saying it was now “in the legal stage.”

That must be all that screaming we hear.

PattyJ on April 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM

Hats off to the guy, 6 is a very impressive number indeed.

TroubledMonkey on April 15, 2008 at 10:43 PM

Maybe he just took them all in “temporary marriage”.

Polygamy is legal in Islam.

Times 72 when you reach room temperature.

profitsbeard on April 15, 2008 at 11:04 PM

CyberCypher

What a strange, twisted mind takes this occasion to complain that Ted Haggard isn’t still getting media disdain. The source of your bitterness toward real Christianity is…?

jgapinoy on April 16, 2008 at 12:29 AM

But do temporary marriages count in the maximum of four? If so Ali was a tad over the top, right?

{^_^}

herself on April 16, 2008 at 2:27 AM

Dallying with six hookers? Darned impressive.

I don’t think once you get to six you can still call it dallying. That’s more of a regimented schedule.
