An Omani citizen has been referred to the Criminal Court for allegedly assaulting a thirteen year-old autistic boy.
Officials said the suspect lured the boy to an abandoned house to teach him how to shoot a gun and then was said to have assaulted the boy.
On April 27 the victim’s father filed a complaint with the Public Prosecution about the suspect, accusing him of abusing his son.
The accused has been charged with a number of offences, including raping a child, which is criminalised in article 72 of the Child Law.
