Kuwait's Court of Appeals acquitted four citizens who were accused of kidnapping and gangraping a minor expatriate girl, presided by Judge Nasser Al-Hayd.
The Public Prosecution charged three of the defendants with the kidnap of the girl, given that she was underage and stated the fourth defendant was unable to rape the victim because of her resistance.
Meanwhile, the Court of First Instance refrained from pronouncing any punishment for three of the defendants on the basis that they submit a pledge to maintain good conduct for a period of two years and pay a financial guarantee of KD500.
The court additionally imposed a fine of KD100 on one of the defendants for driving a vehicle without a license, Arab Times reported.
It acquitted all defendants of the charge of indecent assault and ordered that the case be referred to the competent court for consideration.
