A Filipina escaped half naked from the car of her sexual assaulter in the parking lot near Deira City Centre, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

CC, the 25- year-old victim, told police that she started talking to SB via a chatting programme after taking the pin code of his BlackBerry and adding him to her list.

After 10 days, on November 20, at around 6.30pm, she agreed to meet him in the parking lot of Deira City Centre, according to the records.

“He came in his Nissan Patrol that he stopped near the sports centre parking area.  I got into his car before asking where we are going. He told me he will roam around. After about an hour of roaming, he stopped at a parking lot near the mall. He put the sunshade on the front glass of the car before suddenly turning to me and kissing my lips.

“Though I asked him to stop, he groped my breasts,  pulled out my T-shirt and groped my breast again. I shouted at him and pushed him back but he moved from his seat to mine. He kissed me and groped my body and private parts. I shouted and screamed and tried to open the door but he covered my face with his hands and then pressed around my neck while continuing to kiss me,” the victim told investigators.

The victim’s attempt to grab her mobile phone that was between the two front seats did not succeed as he hit her hand and the mobile dropped out of her hand.

“He tried to turn me and make me lie with my belly on the seat. I struggled with him and moved to the driver’s seat,” the victim told investigators.

CC grabbed the opportunity and used the car’s horn and opened the door before he pushed her out of the vehicle. The victim fell on the ground and he sped away with her clothes and other things in his car, according to the records.

 The victim lodged a complaint at Muraqqabat police station who identified Corporal SB, 26, as the assaulter.SB admitted to knowing the victim via Facebook, testified Seargent Isa Abdulrahman.

“During investigations, the accused admitted talking to the woman before meeting her at the shopping mall. She got into his car and he asked her for sex.  She agreed and took off her lower clothes. When he tried to move to her seat, she refused to have sex. He also said that he offered her money but she refused. So he opened the front passenger’s door and pushed her out of the car and drove away,” testified the seargent.

Searching his car, police confiscated the victim’s trousers, underwear, shoes and hand bag. Dubai Prosecution referred SB to the court on accusations of forcible sexual assault and threatening CC with killing her if she does not keep silence.

SB denied the two accusations when he appeared before the court and said that it was with her consent. “She asked me to meet her. She was after me. We met on her request. She got into my car and I allowed her to get off the car,” the accused told the jury.

When the presiding judge asked him, “If that was the situation, why was she half-naked.Haven’t you said you let her get off the car?”

“She was not naked,” the accused answered the judge and added: “I am a judicious person and work in the court. How can I push a naked woman out of the car?”

The defence lawyer asked the court to listen to the testimony of the victim. Agreeing to the request, the court adjourned the case to June 19.
