The Al-Mokattam Misdemeanor Court, in Cairo, acquitted on Tuesday a man accused of harassing a woman on a public bus, and dismissed the civil suit. The case first dates to late February, after a private sector employee alleged that the suspect verbally harassed and stalked her from her workplace to a public transport vehicle. To secure evidence and seek help, the victim recorded the encounter on her mobile phone and shared the footage online. Security authorities identified the suspect, a resident of Daqahliya, by analyzing CCTV footage and tracking his route. After a full investigation into the victim’s digital evidence and the suspect’s statements, the Prosecution finalized the charges of public harassment.
