The court heard the plea of Abdel Halim Bareh, Deputy Public Prosecutor, who began his plea by saying: “I came to you today, not to narrate a passing incident, nor to present an ordinary dispute, but rather to place before the conscience of the court a crime that shakes common sense before it shakes the law, and hearts tremble before texts tremble at it; a crime that affects honor, undermines honor, and assassinates tranquility in the souls of the safe.
The crime of assaulting young girls, who were not yet old enough to understand the nature of what happened to them, and did not have the strength or awareness to repel this sinful aggression. They did not understand the meaning of fear, and then they were faced with its harshest forms, and they knew nothing in this world except innocence, and then they were assassinated in a moment of treachery and sin.”
The Deputy Public Prosecutor continued, saying: “This case does not only affect a legal text, but it also affects human humanity itself; a crime in which not only small bodies were violated, but in which the innocence of childhood itself was violated, that innocence that society, the constitution, and the law swore to protect. Its perpetrator was a criminal whose insight was blinded, and he fell from his humanity like dry leaves falling from a dead tree; all that remained in him was a moving body, and an extinguished spirit, who stripped himself of mercy and took off a garment from it. Conscience, so he assaulted young girls, not caring about the profound psychological trauma that his action caused, which does not go away with the passage of time, nor is it erased by time, but rather its effects remain engraved in the memory before the body, and in the soul before the limbs.
He continued: The Public Prosecution will explain to your esteemed justice the facts of this case, its evidence, and the applicable texts of the law, and then leave the entire matter to the conscience and justice of the court, and it is fully confident that your ruling will come in accordance with the correct law, the seriousness of the crime, and expressing the eternal word of justice. The victims in this case are young girls who have not reached the age of full discrimination, as they are less than fifteen years old. Indeed, among them are those who are not more than twelve years old.
As for the accused, the Public Prosecution does not stand before a person who committed an accidental act, or a single misstep, but rather stands before a perpetrator who adopted criminal behaviour, and made attacking the innocence of young girls a way, and the repetition of the act an approach, completely disregarding all values of mercy and humanity.
The Deputy Public Prosecutor continued: The accused took advantage of the young age of the victims, their weakness, their innocence, and their inability to resist or speak up, so he committed his crime in secret, concealed under the veil of inattention, and relying on childhood silence and its inability to defend itself.
He added: The Public Prosecution presents these facts to your justice, as it bears in mind that it is not about numbers on papers, nor about an isolated incident, but rather about children whose tranquility was taken away, their innocence robbed, and the accused left them facing wounds that cannot be seen, but are more painful than any visible wound.
The Deputy Public Prosecutor said: The facts of this case are that the accused, who is a thirty-seven-year-old man, is married, has two children, and works as a health inspector, a job that requires its occupant to commit to a high degree of honesty and moral discipline before the law. In addition to his original work, he worked as a worker in a pharmacy, a job that allowed him direct contact with the public and made him trusted by those who frequented the place.
The accused used this place as a cover to carry out his criminal activity, as he was waiting for the opportunity for any young girl to come, without the presence of a companion, so he would lure her to a place out of sight inside the pharmacy, and then he began to assault her, grabbing her, taking off her clothes, and violating her honor, taking advantage of her weakness, her young age, and her inability to resist or call for help.
The accused’s crime did not stop at the level of physical assault only, but it went beyond photographing the victims while he committed these sinful acts, without their consent, and in situations that affected modesty and honor, and even chilling them. Then he kept those pictures and video clips, and made them a means of threats and blackmail.
Whereas the accused was threatening the victims with what he had depicted of them, to force them to return to him again and again, and under the weight of fear and terror, they would return to him under duress, so that he would repeat his assault on them again, in a way that reveals criminal intent, an intentional continuation of the assault, and the crime being adopted as a method and habitual behavior.
He also not only threatened those pictures and video clips, but also published them and sent them to others via social media, in a blatant violation of the sanctity of private life, a blatant aggression against honor and esteem, and a serious violation of family and social values.
The accused’s deviance did not stop there. Rather, his criminal behavior extended to within his family, as he photographed his wife in private places, without regard to the sanctity of marital life, and then sent those pictures to others, in exchange for obtaining similar pictures of other wives, in behavior that reveals extreme moral decadence and complete devoid of human and moral values.
He continued: The accused cannot be viewed as a normal human being who has lost his feet, nor as a father who is supposed to be compassionate, nor as the head of a family who can be trusted with those under his control. Rather, he is an example of a human devil who has been devoid of all meanings of mercy and conscience, and has dropped from himself the most basic components of humanity. He is a man who betrayed common sense before he betrayed the law. He did not respect the sanctity of childhood, nor the sanctity of honor, nor the integrity of a job, nor even the responsibility of fatherhood. Whoever is in this condition cannot be trusted, nor can he be reassured about his presence among children. Indeed, he cannot be truly trusted even with his children, because whoever falls into the mire of this deviation knows no limit, and does not stop at a limit.
The Deputy Public Prosecutor concluded his plea by saying: The Public Prosecution places this picture before the justice of the court. It does so not as defamation, but rather as a true description of an imminent danger that threatens the security of society and the safety of its children, and requires a decisive stance and a deterrent ruling that restores justice to its prestige and closes this dark door forever.
Counselor Tamer Mahmoud Al-Qadi, the first general attorney for the South Assiut College Prosecution, referred the accused, “Mina R. A,” 37 years old, a health inspector in the health department in the Badari Center, to the criminal court.
The Public Prosecution charged the accused with the fact that, within the year 2025, he had violated the honor of young girls who had not yet reached the age of eighteen, while he was in his workplace and with the motive of satisfying his despicable, deviant desires, and after abandoning normal instinct and following his whims, he was waiting for the opportunity for any young girl to come without discrimination, and when he got hold of them, he would grab them and lift their clothes off of them, thus exposing their private parts, taking all aspects of their chastity, and committing with them actions that he had previously done. Someone filmed them while he was doing that, thereby insulting their honor. He posted it on a social networking site and threatened to send it to their families in order to force them to do something that they would do again.
The investigations of Major Hisham Ibrahim, Assistant to the Investigation Unit of the Badari Police Station, concluded that the incident was true and that the accused, while he was at his workplace in one of the pharmacies, was waiting for the opportunity for any young girl to come, and then he would remove her clothes, assault her, and photograph her while doing so without her knowledge. Then he would publish what he photographed on the social networking sites “Telegram” and threaten them with what he photographed until they came back to him again.
The investigations added that the number of girls who were victims was large, all of them under the age of fifteen years, and some of them were under the age of 12 years. The investigations also added that…
An examination of the accused’s phone revealed that it contained video clips of the incident.
