Dr Samir was a well-known figure in Egypt

A celebrity dentist in Egypt has been sentenced to 16 years in prison after being convicted of sexually assaulting four men.

The accusations against Dr Bassem Samir first appeared on social media last year when an Egyptian actor made public his account of being assaulted.

Another man made similar accusations a month later in an online video.

Dr Samir was a well-known figure in Egypt, with big billboards advertising his clinic in the capital, Cairo.
