This case involved an individual of exploiting their underaged daughter. A key issue was whether there was sufficient evidence. Valid evidence had been taken from the accused's mobile phone.
Background
The office of public prosecution accused a defendant to exploiting their underage daughter in immoral activities and requested the court to penalize them according to Article 1, 215, 6, 22 and 26 of Bahrain Law No. 17/1976.
The court ruled that the defendant should be imprisoned for three months and that the execution of the ruling should be suspended for three years.
Decision
The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation. She said in her grounds of appeal that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation. She said that the court had established the ruling based on invalid evidence.
The court said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the court had considered all aspects of the case properly and established the ruling based on valid evidence extracted from the defendant’s mobile phone.
The court dismissed the appeal and upheld the appealed ruling.
