AMK, a 39-year-old Emirati, was sentenced to three months in jail by the Dubai Criminal Court for touching a woman’s buttocks while driving by the victim in the parking lot of a mall.

The victim MAT, 28, British, testified that at around 3pm on December 17, 2012 she was in the parking lot of Wafi Centre, standing behind her car with her back to the vehicle parking route.

“A car passed behind me and the driver tapped my bottom while driving. I turned back and saw that his hand was still out of the window,” she testified.

The mall’s CCTV showed the driver touching the woman’s buttocks. The recording also showed his car’s plate number so he was identified.

The accused admitted that the car belonged to him and that none else drove it at any time.
