8,658 years in a Turkish prison would be a long time.
"A cult leader accused of forcing sex slaves to undergo cosmetic surgeries without anaesthetic has been sentenced to a staggering 8,658 years in prison.
Turkish Televangelist Adnan Oktar, 66, was jailed last year on a string of charges ranging from the sexual abuse of minors to fraud, as well as attempted political and military espionage.
That ruling was eventually overturned but at a retrial today (Wednesday, November 16) Oktar was handed a 8,658-year prison term - an eightfold increase on his original sentence.
Oktar rose to fame off the back of the talk show he hosted on his own A9 TV channel, which mixed Islamic religious debates with apocalyptic ramblings and attractive models wearing exotic makeup, wigs and bondage-style dresses.
The women associated with him were known as "kittens" and his cult boasted some 160 members at one stage.
The idiosyncratic style of Oktar's evolution-denying cult was described as a “sexed-up Disney version of Islam” by anthropologist Daniel Martin Varisco."
