If the Sultan of Brunei is going to enforce Sharia law fairly, his playboy brother Prince Jefri should be stoned to death for committing adultery.
Jefri, 59 — who has had five wives, three of whom he is still married to — was known for keeping as many as 40 highly paid American and European women on call to have sex with him and his friends.
New Jersey-born Jillian Lauren came home after 18 months in Brunei with $300,000 and wrote a book, “Some Girls: My Life in a Harem,” about her experience.
Besides having sex with Jefri, the then-teen also hooked up with the Sultan, she revealed this week in a piece in the Daily Beast.
“As the citizens of Brunei face the erosion of their rights, I imagine the man I once knew, holed up in a posh hotel suite somewhere, maybe with another American teenager in his lap, making laws that legislate morality,” Lauren wrote.
Ex-Miss USA Shannon Marketic returned from Brunei in 1997 and sued Jefri and the Sultan, claiming she was held against her will as a sex slave. Marketic lost her lawsuit after Jefri claimed diplomatic immunity.
The first round of Sharia law, imposed on May 1, calls for fines and prison sentences for those who have a child out of wedlock, fail to pray on Friday or promote religions other than Islam.
The second phase, coming next year, will include whippings and amputations for such crimes as drinking alcohol and theft.
The following year, death sentences — including stoning — could be implemented for adultery, sodomy or insulting the Prophet Muhammad.
The growing boycott of the Sultan’s hotels — the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Bel-Air, the Plaza Athénée in Paris and the Dorchester in London — might dissuade the Sultan. Or not. Worth $20 billion, he certainly doesn’t need the revenue.
