(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) A woman phone operator accused a worker of breaching her modesty by showing her a sex video on his mobile phone and grabbing her by her abaya against her will, a court heard on Monday.
The incident dates back to May in Rafaa when a 21-year-old Emirati woman told the police and the prosecution that the defendant, a 32-year-old Bangladeshi, came to her while she was on duty and offered her tea but she declined.
He then suggested he would show her some videos on his mobile phone which she also declined. He insisted and closed the door and came from behind her chair. He put the phone on in front of her and it started playing a sex video. He held her chair still and grabbed her abaya near her chest, she alleged. She pushed him away.
He said he was sorry and left the office asking her not to report it to anyone. The complainant said during the investigation that the defendant meant to take her abaya and her clothes off when he grabbed her. Her boss informed the police after learning about the incident.
The worker faced charges of molestation and possession of indecent material to show to others.
The boss's deputy, a 30-year-old Emirati, said that the complainant looked upset when recounting what happened. She said that the defendant touched her hand and tried to molest her. He aimed at assaulting her by showing her the indecent film, she said.
When the deputy asked the accused about whether he showed the complainant indecent film the accused allegedly kept quiet with tears in his eyes. In his statement, he said that the accused tried to hold his hand and vowed to stay away from the woman. The defendant admitted during investigation that he had porn film stored in his mobile phone and that he touched the complainant's hand when he took his phone off the table.
