We hear more of females being sexually harassed rather than men. Cases of men being a subject to sexual harassment are less.
A criminal court in Dubai sent a man to seven years in jail for stabbing his compatriot manager to death. The court also ordered a deportation after completion of jail term.
According to 22-year-old Pakistani worker, he got angry when the victim, his supervisor, allegedly sexually harassed him, prompting him to stab him four times. However, he denied a premeditated murder charge in court claiming he did not mean to kill the victim. “He attacked me first and I was defending myself,” he claimed.

“I was walking near the accommodation in Al Quoz when the victim called me. He wanted me to meet him in the parking lot, expressing his sexual desires towards me. As I turned his invitation down, he said no matter what I did I should still see him in the accommodation. He also insulted and threatened to hurt me,” the accused had told the prosecutor.
“On my way, I could not help being angry and stopped at a supermarket and bought a knife.”
