Indian man in Dubai convicted of molesting OFW
The 24-year-old man allegedly chased a Filipina housewife inside a building in Dubai, cornered her, and forced her to kiss him, reports the Gulf News

MANILA, Philippines – An Indian national working in Dubai has been sentenced to prison for 3 months for forcing a Filipina to kiss him, according to a report in Gulf News

The Filipina victim, a 27-year-old housewife, testified that the defendant – a 24-year-old man – began to follow her when she was near a mall. He then chased her inside a building and cornered her, before he forced her to kiss him. 

“I heard his footsteps behind me while I was heading home. I entered the building and took the stairs…. He continued walking behind me. Once I reached the first floor, I turned my back and saw him still chasing me,” the complainant was quoted in the report.

“I told him that I would call the police if he did not stop chasing me. He grabbed me by my arms and backed me up against the wall before he kissed me against my will. He molested me and when I shouted, he ran away,” she added. 



Under United Arab Emirates law, the defendant has 15 days to appeal the ruling. He will also be deported after serving the sentence. – Rappler.com
