A 39-year-old wheelchair user identified in the report as Negar, and later referred to as Sanaz, complained to Tehran police that Saeed, a fraudulent fortune teller, deceived her with promises of healing and sexually assaulted her during a purported magical treatment. A second complainant, Shirin, and three additional women or girls reported similar conduct, bringing the total number of complainants to five. Saeed was arrested in Islamshahr, initially denied knowing the complainants, and later reportedly confessed to harassing them. At a later court hearing, he admitted relationships with the women but denied coercion. The verdict was postponed pending further investigation.

Fraudulent fortune teller Saeed abusing multiple women
Unknown
The source describes alleged sexual assaults within a fraudulent healing and fortune-telling scheme rather than a primarily relationship-driven incident. Saeed allegedly used victims' illness, marital difficulties, financial hardship, or desire to marry as points of influence. The report also contains inconsistent naming for the first complainant and conflicting accounts about consent.
Tehran police reportedly received the first complaint on December 3, 2023, obtained identifying details, and found that Saeed had fled and emptied his residence. Shirin later complained and identified Saeed from a facial reconstruction, followed by three additional complainants. A special police intelligence team reportedly arrested Saeed in Islamshahr. He initially denied knowing the complainants and denied being a fortune teller, then reportedly confessed during technical interrogation to harassing five women. The case was reviewed approximately six months later, and the court postponed the verdict for further investigation. The source does not report a final conviction or sentence.
The first complainant is identified as Negar in the opening account but as Sanaz in later sections, creating uncertainty about whether the report refers to one person or contains a naming error. Saeed's account shifted from denying knowledge of the complainants to admitting relationships while denying coercion. The source also alternates between describing rape, harassment, and non-forced relationships without resolving the legal distinction.
The reported pathway began with social-media contact between vulnerable women and Saeed, followed by private appointments and promises of healing, energy treatment, fortune opening, or solutions to financial and marital problems. The first complainant said the alleged assault occurred during a purported magical treatment after Saeed demanded additional payment and removal of clothing. Her complaint led to forensic examination, identification efforts, and subsequent complaints from Shirin and three other women. Police identification, complainant recognition, arrest, Saeed's reported interrogation confession, and later conflicting court statements formed the main evidentiary sequence.
The report describes alleged exploitation of people experiencing serious illness, disability, marital distress, financial hardship, or anxiety about marriage. Reported risk indicators included deceptive healing claims, private appointments, escalating demands for payment, manipulation, alleged sexual coercion, and multiple similar complaints. The legal allegations and Saeed's conflicting statements remained unresolved at the time described.
The case illustrates alleged exploitation of health crises, disability, marital breakdown, financial hardship, and pressure to marry through deceptive spiritual or healing claims. Multiple similar complaints and cross-identification strengthened the investigation, while the suspect's flight, initial denial, later reported confession, and subsequent denial of coercion created evidentiary complexity. The source supports caution about private appointments, escalating payment demands, unsupported treatment promises, and pressure framed as necessary for recovery.
The most important reported signals were unsupported promises of rapid healing or life change, requests for repeated private sessions, demands for more money, pressure to remove clothing, manipulative reassurance, and the use of illness or relationship distress to gain compliance.
The main reported clues were the complainants' matching descriptions, Shirin's recognition of the facial reconstruction prepared by Sanaz, five complainants describing a similar method, police intelligence work, Saeed's arrest in Islamshahr, and his later reported admission during interrogation.
The strongest reported evidence types were the forensic medical letter concerning the first complainant, forensic examination findings, complainant identification and facial recognition, consistent accounts from five complainants, police investigative measures, and Saeed's reported interrogation confession. The source does not provide documentary detail about digital messages, payment records, or a final judicial assessment.
The complainants gave statements to police and court. Shirin's family reportedly noticed that she was unwell and compelled her to report the incident. The source does not provide independent eyewitness accounts of the alleged assaults.
Follow-up complaints expanded the case from one reported assault to five complainants with similar allegations. The investigation then moved from an absent suspect and initial denials to an arrest and reported interrogation confession. At court, Saeed admitted relationships but disputed coercion, and the verdict was postponed for further investigation.
The final verdict, conviction status, sentence, and outcome of the additional investigation were not reported. The identity discrepancy between Negar and Sanaz remains unresolved. The precise allegations of each complainant, the distinction between rape and harassment in the legal record, and the independent corroboration of Saeed's statements are also unclear.
