Also "We are not against freedom of speech or expression but you cannot insult people..."

In September 1999 Adnan Oktar was arrested following multiple sex scandals and further allegations that were fully covered by the Turkish media. In that court case, Oktar was charged with using threats for personal benefit and creating an organization with the intent to commit a crime.[39]. One complainant, a fashion model named Ebru Simsek claimed she was blackmailed, and then slandered as a "prostitute" in fax messages sent to hundreds of different newspapers, TV channels, major business companies, foreign consulates and government offices for refusing to have sex with Adnan Oktar. The judicial process lasted over two years, during which most of the complainants' retracted their claims because of threats or bribes from SRF members. As a result most of the cases against Oktar and SRF members were dismissed, with only two member receiving jail sentences for 1 year each.[40]

Amidst ambiguous circumstances all charges were dropped by that court only to be picked by another court 8 years later. On May 2008 Oktar and 17 other members of his organisation were sentenced to 3 years in prison.[39] Oktar intends to appeal these charges.[39]

According to the indictment of the prosecutor’s office, cited by the daily Cumhuriyet, Adnan Oktar and associates raped young women many of whom were under the age of 18 on camera and blackmailed them by threatening to release the sex tapes to their friends and family members. Many of these young women were then forced to entice select young men from wealthy families with the promise of sex in exchange for attending events organised by the BAV. The court heard how in turn these girls were formed into a group called of what they referred to as Odalisques and were ordered to videotape their sex sessions with these young men and deliver the tapes to Oktar. [41]

In 2008 Oktar was convicted a variety of crimes including engaging in criminal threats.

It doesn't quite make sense on the surface. Why is he therefore able to hold so much influence in the courts?

The likely answer is disturbing to say the least.

Still, not that it's surprising to hear of Muslims abusing females....
