Sexual abuse of minor: Man gets imprisonment
Manama : A maintenance technician has been sentenced to five years behind bars for molesting a European minor girl.
The technician was called by the girl’s mother to fix the curtains and the toilet of their house located in Janabiya.
The girl, who is under 14 years, was tasked by her mother to guide the technician around the house to check for repairs.
When the mother went out of vicinity, the man started to abuse her sexually.
“I was stunned to hear my child crying loudly, and when I went to her she told me he had groped and kissed her. He touched her private parts,” the mother of the girl told prosecutors, adding that she directly informed police about the incident.
The defendant initially claimed that the girl was the one who placed his hand on her body. He also stated that he has been working in Bahrain for 10 years and he has not faced a single complaint so far. The defendant will be expelled from the country once he completes his jail time.
