Couple pleads not guilty to molesting ‘adopted’ daughter

A 53-year-old Emirati A.S.,and his wife M.K., 46, have in the Court of First Instance pleaded not guilty to the charge of molesting their adopted seven-year-old daughter.

However, in the same case, the couple, along with an Emirati housewife, M.B., 30, and an unemployed Iranian, M.A., 30, have pleaded guilty to forging a document relating to their ‘adopted’ daughter.

The Public Prosecution alleged that from February 7, 2001 to July 2, 2007, all the four accused were involved in forging several other official documents, including the minor girl’s birth certificate.

The Emirati couple A.S. and M.K. had alleged that the latter was their own daughter.

M.K. admitted that more than seven years ago she met Iranian M.A. through M.B.

She alleged that since M.A. was pregnant following an “illicit relationship,” she had struck a deal with M.A. to ‘adopt’ the child for Dh15,000 if it was a girl.

“I and my husband along with the biological mother forged the birth certificate of the child at the Dubai Hospital. We handed the hospital two photocopies of our passports. My husband signed on the birth certificate stating that the child was ours. Accordingly, we managed to secure a UAE passport issued for the infant girl mentioning us as her parents.”

During investigations carried out by the Public Prosecution, witness L.S., a housewife from Seychelles, said, “I was very close to the baby girl and was shocked when she told me in June 2007 that her father A.S. was molesting her.

The court has set March 13 for the next hearing. Source

Two Emiratis charged over the kidnapping and sexual assault of boy

A new case of two Emirati men who kidnapped a 15-year-old Emirati schoolboy and had a forceful homosexual affair with him floated in a Dubai court on Wednesday morning.

During the hearing inside the Dubai Court of First Instance, the two suspects, a 22-year-old salesman and an 18-year-old student, denied having repeatedly had sex against the will of their compatriot schoolboy in different occasions and places in Dubai.

The Public Prosecution charged the defendants with luring the boy into their car, driving off to a sandy area where they had forceful sex with him.

They were also charged with threatening to beat and kill the victim and burn his house and scandalise him after having recorded what they did on a mobile phone camera.

Records said the suspects repeated their alleged crime with the schoolboy over different occasions and places in Dubai.

They denied their charges before Presiding Judge Fahmi Mounir.

It is the second case of its kind at Dubai Courts in recent months.

In December 2007, two adult Emiratis were sentenced to 15 years in jail each for committing a similar crime with a 16-year-old French boy.

This case differs with the fact that the alleged crime was repeated a number of times at different places. Source

Supervisor referred to public prosecution

The Dubai Police yesterday referred a Pakistani security supervisor to Public Prosecution for allegedly forcing his colleague to have sex with him.

Police sources said the 27-year-old Pakistani official, S.M., who supervised a security team of three Asians, allegedly misused his position and forced his colleague to have sex with him.

According to a complaint, S.M. learnt that a 25-year-old Nepali guard T.N., who joined his team in December, 2007, had a deformity in his arm.

Since a security guard has to prove hundred per cent fitness at the time of joining the job, S.M. advised the Nepali recruit to hide his deformity by wearing a long-sleeved jacket.

A few days later, both of them visited a sports club at night in Jebel Ali. After the club closed by midnight, S.M. persuaded T.N. to have sex with him in return for the earlier favour.

T.N. decided to report the matter to his company which informed the police.

During interrogation, S.M. denied pressuring T.N., saying the Nepali colleague had consented to have sex with him. Source

Father charged with molesting daughters

A Lebanese father has been charged with molesting his four daughters, aged between seven and 14.
The case was heard by the Sharjah Shariah Court on Tuesday.
His Lebanese wife who lived in Sharjah filed a complaint at the Al Gharb police station in February, 2007, saying that her husband had been molesting her daughters. He had been molesting his eldest daughter for the past seven years, she said.

She came to know of it only when the 14-year-old narrated her ordeals to her. The daughter told her she had been scared to tell her about it but finally decided to do so after she watched a TV programme highlighting a similar issue and also after she discovered that the father was also molesting her sisters.

The mother told the police that she could not believe it at first because she lived a happy life with her husband, though he was unemployed. He usually sat at home with the daughters.

When the mother enquired with the other daughters, they also narrated similar incidents.

The mother said that initially she could not believe what she had heard from her daughters although she had filed a police complaint but was convinced after the man called her up from detention and apologised for his actions promising not to repeat them.

The apology came after the police detained him following her complaint. He advised her not to go ahead with the case because it would affect the daughters’ reputation.

At the first hearing on December 18 last year, the father pleaded not guilty and said that he had no relation with his wife and daughters following a dispute and that he had refused to renew their passports.

However, the girls had testified before the Public Prosecution that they had been molested repeatedly by the father.

The advocate of the mother, Issa bin Haider, told Khaleej Times that such cases were very rare in the UAE community. He said the father had denied the accusation, saying the woman had cooked up the story because she had a dispute with him.

Haider said such cases did not usually come before the courts because most families feared loss of reputation and family break-up.

He said if found guilty of incest, the father could be sentenced to three years to a life term in jail followed by deportation. Also, the man risked forfeiture of his paternal right to custody of his daughters, the lawyer said. The hearing will continue. Source
