According to the case file, the defendant abducted the victim by force and took her to a remote farm. When Shaimaa resisted his attempt to assault her, he reportedly blinded her in an act of extreme brutality. During the proceedings, the defendant broke down in tears and made a desperate plea to marry his victim. The court swiftly rejected the plea, rebuking the defendant by noting that the victim’s status as a minor rendered any such offer legally untenable. Investigations confirmed that the crime was committed through coercion and physical force, with the defendant preying on the victim’s youth and inability to defend herself.
