UAE- Man gets 7 years in jail for sexual abuse 

(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) The RAK Criminal Court of First Instance has sentenced an Arab resident to seven years in jail for sexually abusing a young woman. He was also found guilty of robbing the victim's clothes and blackmailing her with indecent pictures he took with his mobile phone.
