mobanmarketDubai: A Bangladeshi worker has gone on trial accused of touching a 10-year-old Emirati girl inappropriately while she was sitting inside her mother’s car outside a supermarket, a Dubai court heard on Monday.
###
An Emirati mother was with her daughter shopping in November of last year when the defendant carried her goods to her car in the parking lot.
###
“He was putting the goods in the truck and told me that he will put the egg box in the rear seat where my daughter was sitting,” said the mother.
###
“He returned back and I moved the car when my daughter told me that he touched her right breast for few seconds and she was scared,” the mother added.
###
Upon hearing this the mother chased the worker and questioned him before he asked for forgiveness and offered to let her slap him in the face.
###
“He didn’t admit to what happened but he kept saying sorry and that I should slap him and let him go,” the mother added.
###
However, Dubai Police was alerted and arrested the defendant.
###
He claimed that he put the egg box on the girl’s lap when he accidently touched her body.
###
A verdict is expected on January 21.
