Girl departs family home in Amman after 7-year legal dispute
The Greater Criminal Court in Amman sentenced a man to seven years in prison after convicting him of sexually abusing a 17-year-old minor. The Court of Cassation upheld the sentence after an appeal. The case began in March 2023 when the minor left her parents’ home and moved in with the defendant, during which they had three sexual encounters over that period. The man was arrested after the incident was uncovered, and the minor was referred to the Family Protection Directorate to complete legal procedures and examine the evidence. The defendant appealed the verdict, but the decision to impose imprisonment was based on his admission of the acts committed. The court confirmed that the punishment was proportional to the crime and that the procedures were properly followed, leading to the upholding of the seven-year prison sentence.
