US - A 20-year-old Philadelphia woman told a federal courtroom yesterday that she married Omar Rashaad Bey in an Islamic ceremony in Egypt when she was 14.

Bey, 33, of 20th Street near Emily, was sentenced yesterday to eight years in jail by U.S. District Judge Jan DuBois for having sex with three underage girls - all of whom were under 16 at the time - in Egypt between 2004 and 2007. Bey pleaded guilty in September. He must also serve 10 years of supervised release and register as a sex offender.
