KUWAIT CITY, March 2: The Juvenile Court of Appeals overturned the verdict issued by the Court of First Instance that refrained from pronouncing penalty against a Kuwaiti citizen who was accused of instigating a female colleague to have sex with him after forcing her to open the door to a ladies toilet in their workplace while she was inside it.

The court instead acquitted him. The Public Prosecution accused the citizen of going inside a ladies toilet and instigating his female colleague to have sex. He was also accused of threatening the victim and forcing her to open the toilet door. The defense counsel Lawyer Abdulmohsen Al-Qattan stressed the lack of criminal intent in incitement for immoral acts, revealing that the plaintiff was his client’s fiancée and they were in good terms until one day she decided to ignore him, which took him by surprise. He insisted that the verdict issued by the Court of First Instance was incorrect and based on false evidences.

Expat not guilty: The Criminal Court acquitted an Arab national of peddling and consuming narcotics plus other brain stimulants. He was in possession of narcotics and marked money. The case file indicates the officer who arrested the suspect had obtained search and arrest warrant from the public prosecution for that purpose after a tip-off regarding his activities. In the meantime, an undercover agent was assigned to purchase crystal Meth. Other members of the task force appeared and arrested the accused in possession of crystal Meth after delivery of the contraband. More narcotics and brain stimulants were found after conducting a search inside his house. Representing the accused Attorney Esmat Kharbotli argued the arrest warrant was illogical and information given about the suspect was wrong, including the house address. She pleaded innocence of her client to all charges, stressing the accusation was fabricated and malicious.

 ‘Bear health expenses’: The Court of Appeals upheld the verdict issued by the Court of First Instance which ordered the Supreme Committee for Overseas Medical Treatment to cover the treatment cost of a Kuwaiti citizen who has been admitted in a hospital in Washington, the United States of America in emergency condition. According to the case file, the citizen had accompanied his wife to Washington in order for her to undergo a three-month treatment. However, while he was there, his toes and part of his left leg became swollen, which was later identified as “gangrene”. Representing the citizen was Lawyer Abdullatif Al-Abdali, who explained that doctors had affirmed that his client’s condition had reached advanced stages, necessitating amputation of one of the toes on his left leg. However, the cost was more than what his client could afford. He then went to the Kuwait Health Office in Washington and requested them to cover the cost after presenting them with the original receipts. However, the office told the citizen that it cannot cover the cost based on directives of the Supreme Committee for Overseas Treatment, especially since he had agreed and signed to the condition that the overseas treatment fund will not cover any medical costs that he might incur while he accompanies his wife on the trip.
