CAIRO, June 30 (Aswat Masriya) An Egyptian court sentenced on Monday a person for six months in prison and fined him with five thousand pounds on charges of sexually harassing a girl on a railway station platform in Southern Egypt's Minya. 

Gihan F., 16, reported the harassment to the transportation police and on account of it Mohamed A., a worker, was arrested. 

The victim was waiting for the train on the platform when the defendant offered her money to go with him.
