affirmed and supported the victim`s statement. The report stated that there were abrasions and scratches in the vagina entry and redness in the vaginal wall. This is a strong evidence affirms what has been narrated by the victim that the convict alone who brought about the same. This is in addition to the statement of the complainant - the mother of the victim who sated that the victim`s cousin Tasabeeh informed her of what has been done against the victim who informed her cousin of the same. According to whatsoever has been mentioned hereinabove, I do not agree with what has been narrated in the petition of appeal in cassation in respect of the support which requires direct evidence. I point out in this connection to the fact that the victim`s statements are regarded as direct evidence and not a complainant’s evidence. I add that sexual crimes against children as previously said support any evidences even though evidentiary hearing or circumstantial evidences. This is what is usually adopted by the judiciary in such kind of crimes. I am therefore of the opinion that we should uphold the contested judgment and cancel the appeal in cassation. Awad Hassan Awad Supreme Court Judge 13/12/2017 Salah Al Sharif Supreme Court Judge 15/12/2016 The victim`s narration about the harassment committed against her by the accused means that the victim was not slacked. She narrated what has been committed by the accused to her cousin who in turn informed her uncle of the matter who narrated the facts of the crime to the victim`s mother. The victim`s narration is acceptable in terms of harassment and raping crimes as long as there is an expert`s evidence which supported the narration contained in the approved form about the condition of the victim provided by the deputy gynecologist who acknowledged an occurrence of the assault by putting the sign ( ) in the column of the sexual assault. Then came her medical report which stated existence of abrasions and scratches in the vagina entry and redness in the vaginal wall. This means that the occurrence of the sexual assault against her. The harassment crime is therefore proved beyond the phase of reasonable doubt against the accused. So, I agree with the first and second opinion on the validity of conviction and punishment and the contested judgment should be upheld and the dismissal of the appeal in cassation as provided for in the first and second opinions. Dr. Mohamed Abu Zaid Osman Supreme Court Judge 18/12/2016 Final Order: (1) We uphold the contested judgment. (2) The appeal in cassation is cancelled.
