Two men are accused of intoxicating a French teenager, raping her and then abandoning her in a semi-conscious state at a construction site before fleeing.

The Dubai Criminal Court heard the case in which a police corporal on his way home from duty saw the girl, rushed home to pick up his wife who then covered the semi-naked girl and took her to hospital.

Corporal Ali Mohammed in his testimony says: “While I was walking in the area where I reside, I saw a woman with her lower body completely naked lying near the gate of a construction site.

“I tried to talk to her, but she did not answer. I went back home and called the police and returned with my wife who covered her.

“An ambulance and police patrol arrived and then she started waking up. She said she is a French,” the policeman told investigators.

The 19-year-old victim WB, jobless, told investigators that she met the accused AI and SS at the Sheraton Hotel in JBR and agreed to accompany them later in the evening to a party.

AI drove her to the house of a third man where she consumed alcohol and fell unconscious.

When she woke up next, she was in the hospital, where she discovered she had been sexually assaulted and had sustained bruises on her neck, arms and legs.

Police arrested AI, 23, who admitted to meeting the victim in the JBR area.

AI admitted to having sex with the victim but claimed that was a consensual.

He claims she was drunk to the extent that she was dancing naked and they had to control her.

“We splashed water on her face but in vain. We then dressed against her will. My other two friends took her out of the villa and left her in Al Barsha,” AI told investigators.

Police arrested SS, 34, Emirati, who admitted that after his friend had sex with the girl, they both took her out of their friend’s villa and left her in Al Barsha.

Forensic also reported DNA traces of SS and AI found in a swab on the victim.

According to reports in the Arabic press, one of the accused is a famous artist in the GCC.

The court will reconvene on April 30.
