Four plead not guilty in bid to kidnap 18-year-old
Three Emiratis, security officer A.A., policeman K.F., and S.H., and a Pakistani A.H., yesterday pleaded not guilty in the Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance to the charges of kidnapping an 18-year-old Yemeni student and attempting to sodomise him.
According to court records, on December 2, 2007, the four accused, in their twenties, allegedly kidnapped J.M., took him to a deserted area and tried to have sex with him. When the boy resisted, they assaulted him.
In his statement to the Public Prosecution, J.M. said that while he was playing cards with some of his friends in Bur Dubai on December 2 of last year, A.A. came and asked him to accompany him to a restaurant.
"He promised to drop me back. He drove to a restaurant and ordered food. His friends, K.F., S.H. and A.H. later joined us and A.A. left me alone with them.
“The three took me to a dark and isolated location. They then told me that they wanted to sodomise me. One of them put a belt around my neck and threatened me. I somehow managed to get out of the car," J.M. said.
The complainant added that K.F. called him later and tried to pacify him by saying that they were simply joking.
He, however, threatened J.M. of dire consequences if he reported the matter to the police.
The next hearing is scheduled for April 6. Source
