The sex cult leader was earlier sentenced to over 1,000 years in prison. The police found about 69,000 contraceptive pills in his home. However, he claimed the pills are used to treat skin disorders and menstrual problems.
Adnan Oktar dragged public attention for the first time in the 1990s when he was the leader of a sect that was caught up in multiple sex scandals.

His online A9 television channel started broadcasting in 2011, drawing denunciations from Turkey's religious leaders.
The sex cult leader was arrested four years ago along with dozens of his followers in police raids on his properties in Istanbul and other cities as part of an investigation into his suspicious group.
