Former Mp Accused Of Tricking A Woman To Sleep With Him

The Criminal Court adjourned until Oct 18, 2017 the hearing on a case filed against a former MP accused of tricking a woman to sleep with him. The court decided Wednesday to conduct a closed session during which the accused MP was brought in but he denied the charges. The victim’s lawyer demanded for civil temporary compensation of KD 5,001 for damages caused to his client. The woman said she approached the accused in June 2015 to help her get a job considering he was a public figure as he was a member of Parliament then. She added that he got her number and he started texting her love messages. The Public Prosecution had earlier referred the complaint filed by the female citizen to the Criminal Court, accusing the former MP of tricking her into sleeping with him after promising her several times that he will marry her only to refuse to officially document their customary marriage later.
