KUWAIT CITY, Oct 26: The Criminal Court acquitted a citizen of having an affair with a Filipina and then sentenced the woman to six months in jail with hard labor for engaging in consensual intercourse. Case files indicate a lieutenant from the Morals Department received information from the Maternity Hospital that a pregnant Filipina came to the hospital. She was interrogated and she confessed that the citizen had an affair with her saying he got her pregnant even if he is married. When the citizen was interrogated, he denied the charges asserting that he is married and he merely provided transport services for the woman to her workplace. Further interrogation revealed the woman confessed that she ran away from her sponsor and she was staying in an apartment in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh with the knowledge of the citizen. She admitted having several sexual escapades with the citizen thinking he was going to marry her. She claimed that he did not tell her he is married. However, Attorney Mohammad Safar, who represented the citizen in court, requested for cancellation of the lawsuit as the wife of his client did not file a complaint against him and he was not caught in the act. He then demanded for acquittal of his client.
