Fez’s Court of First Instance sentenced a hotel employee to two years in prison in early August for attempted rape and indecent assault with violence against a foreign tourist staying at the hotel.
The young man was arrested after the tourist, an American of Indian descent, filed a complaint accusing him of sexual harassment and attempted rape.
During the investigation by the relevant prosecutor’s office, the accused appeared in court for a hearing where the judge gave him one week to appoint a lawyer.
The tourist did not attend the trial because she had left Morocco after her vacation.
The employee will serve his sentence at Bourkaiz local prison in Fez.
