Court Sentenced 10 Years Imprisonment With Hard Labor For Raping An Asian Housemaid

03 November 2017 Crime News

The Court of Appeals has overturned the verdict of the Court of First Instance which had sentenced a Kuwaiti in absentia to 10 years imprisonment with hard labor for allegedly raping an Asian housemaid.

The court also refrained from issuing a verdict against the suspect. According to case papers, the victim was in the kitchen cooking for her sponsor when the suspect touched her sensitive parts, so she shouted and went into her room to take shower.

To her surprise, the man followed her to the room and had sex with her by force. She said the suspect then thanked her and left the room. She claimed the same man had raped her two weeks earlier after grabbing her by her hair.

Defence lawyer Abdul-Wahab Bin Salamah faulted the investigation, because the officers had declined to question the suspect’s mother. He declared the statements of the plaintiff were inconsistent with the legal medical report, while his client vehemently denied the allegation. He insisted there was no concrete proof to substantiate the plaintiff’s claim.
