Egyptian actress Raniah Youssef demanded officials to apply a deterrent law on harassers to serve as an example.
She tweeted: 'The crime of harassment will continue. Everyday We see a new catastrophe, and this time the last victim is an innocent girl who has not yet reached the age of 10 years.'
Raniah added: 'In order to get rid of human dogs, there has to be a deterrent law on harassers to serve as an example, and punishing those who justify harassment for any reason until we get rid of the justification that gives power to harassers. #ChildrenMolester.'

من اجل التخلص من الكلاب البشريه يجب أن يكون هناك قانون رادع للمتحرشين ليكونوا عبره
وعقاب من يبرر التحرش لأي سبب حتى نتخلص من تبرير التحرش الذي يعطي القوه للمتحرشين #متحرش_الاطفال
Raniah's fellow actor, comedian Mohamad Henedy said that harrasing a child is a crime.
He wrote on Twitter: 'Some people talk about concealing a horrific crime such as harassing a child ... Concealment is when you commit a sin, of course .. but when this sin does not harm anyone,'
Henedy continued: 'As for molesting a child, this is a crime ... a crime in any religion and any law ... a crime for which the perpetrator must be punished.'
بعض الاشخاص بيتكلموا عن الستر في جريمة مرعبة زي التحرش بطفله .. الستر لما بتكون بترتكب معصية اكيد .. بس المعصية دي مابتأذيش حد

اما التحرش بطفلة ده جريمة .. جريمة في اي دين وجريمة في اي قانون .. جريمة لازم صاحبها يتعاقب عليها
