The 'Jordan Times' reported that a 22-year-old man was sentenced to death by the Criminal Court after being convicted the previous week of raping an eight-year-old child in Irbid in 2002.
The defendant, Hashem K., was standing trial in Irbid for raping the child after luring her into a deserted area. The court rendered its decision based upon the victim's testimony and her positive identification of the defendant in several police line-ups.
The Jordanian Penal Code mandates death as the punishment for the rape a child under the age of 15.
