Jordanian woman jailed for false harassment claim
The Court of First Instance of As-Salt, in its capacity as an appellate court, reduced the sentence of a woman convicted of the crime of defamation from three years to six months. The woman had initially accused a man of sexual harassment while working for him, but then withdrew her complaint, alleging that her initial accusation was an attempt to pressure him into dropping a theft claim she had filed against him. The court found her guilty of defamation based on her admission that the accusations were false, and upheld her conviction but sentenced her to a lesser term, taking into account her withdrawal of the complaint before legal proceedings commenced.
