KUWAIT CITY, Aug 7: The Criminal Court, presided over by Judge Al-Duwaihi Mubarak Al-Duwaihi, has sentenced an expatriate anesthesiologist employed at a government hospital to seven years in prison with hard labor, followed by deportation after serving the sentence.
The doctor was convicted of sexually harassing a female patient while she was unconscious. The court’s decision was based on multiple pieces of evidence, including the victim’s complaint, witness testimonies, findings from the criminal investigation, and the accused’s own confession. The doctor had also reportedly told the victim she could contact him if she needed a place to stay — a statement considered as part of the case.
The court further ruled that, as a public employee, the accused would be dismissed from his position.
