Description
Muna Alshekaili and co-authors mapped in 2024 every child sexual abuse case that reached Oman's prosecutors in one year. Gulf states have signed child-rights pledges and built laws and services, but whether fair legal ends follow was untested there. Records for 2017 gave 269 victims and 269 accused. The team charted who they were, the case types, and what medical checks and courts found.
Most victims were boys aged nine to fifteen; all accused were men. Near all cases came from outside the family. Lewd acts toward children led, then graver assaults. Traits that lined up with medical findings in the victim's favor are set out for courts and care teams. The study gives Oman its first national picture of such cases.
