62-Year-old man molests 9-year-old girl in Dubai
A Belgian man stood trial at a Dubai court on Monday for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old girl at a furniture store. The 62-year-old touched the Egyptian girl inappropriately while she was standing in the home lighting section of the busy furniture store.
The girl’s father told the prosecutors that he saw the man standing behind his daughter before touching her inappropriately. He then walked away as the father walked towards him.
“As I followed him, I saw him through a mirror in the same corner doing the same act with another child. I yelled at him and then called the police,” the father said.
According to court records, a police sergeant said the accused had admitted to molesting the girl, adding that he’d been doing the same act with children for the past five years. He said he had done it “at least four times before”. “He confessed without any pressure and said he wasn’t struggling with any mental illnesses,” the sergeant told the prosecutors.
The accused, however, pleaded not guilty when he appeared before the Dubai Court of First Instance on Monday.
The shop’s CCTV cameras showed the man following the 9-year-old girl, before putting his hand on the girl.
The case has been adjourned to January 15.
