KUWAIT CITY, April 2: Lawyer Jassim Bandar says sexual assault is a sensitive and controversial issue within Kuwaiti society, as it violates human rights and dignity, and leads to severe psychological and physical consequences for the victims. He stressed that the sexual assault of a minor is one of the most heinous crimes, as it not only harms the child’s body but also negatively impacts their development and mental health.
As a result, the Kuwaiti Penal Code imposes heavy penalties on those who commit such offenses. Lawyer Bandar explained that the penalty for kidnapping a child without deception or force is a maximum prison sentence. However, the penalty increases if the kidnapping is for ransom. If the kidnapping involves sexual assault, the punishment may be death or life imprisonment. The penalty is more severe if the kidnapping is carried out using force or coercion.
