Dubai: A family’s driver went on trial at the Dubai Court of First Instance after he was accused of sexually abusing a seven-year-old girl while he was driving her to her house.
###
The Syrian girl was in the passenger seat in front while her older sister was in the back seat, when the 34-year-old Indian driver touched her private parts in May.
###
“I yelled at him and pushed his hand away. I even slapped him but he was laughing and asked me to sit on his lap and drive the car but I refused,” the girl testified.
###
The nine-year-old sister saw what the driver did and they both alerted their mother the moment they arrived home at Al Barsha.
###
“She told me that she slapped the defendant. I told her that she can’t slap a man her father’s age but she told me that he touched her inappropriately. Her sister confirmed what happened,” the mother said in records.
###
The parents alerted the police, who apprehended the driver.
###
However, the defendant has denied charges of sexual abuse.
