Child rapist collapses in pain as he's publicly whipped 146 times as punishment

Dramatic pictures show a child rapist collapsing in pain after being whipped 146 times in public.

The 19-year-old abuser begged for mercy as he received the brutal punishment in Idi Rayeuk, East Aceh, Indonesia.

After collapsing, the man was briefly treated by a medic before the flogging was restarted by a member of the Sharia police.

The teenager was arrested earlier this year on charges of molesting and raping a child, according to reports.

Public flogging is a common punishment for heinous criminals who violate Islamic law in the ultra-conservative province of Aceh.
