Man molests child at mall in Dubai

Published

Dubai Police arrested an Arab engineer after he was caught on camera molesting a 14-year-old girl inside the lift at a busy shopping mall in the emirate.

The man, in his 20s, had waited for the girl to take the lift with her little sisters, aged 4 and 5 years, before going in with them.

As he started to caress the girl’s body, she started to scream, prompting the man to open the lift and run out of the mall towards his parked car outside.

Police used the mall’s security cameras to identify the man and his car number as he got into his vehicle and drove away.

They then phoned the man and summoned him to the police station, where he confessed to his crime. Newspapers said the prosecutor would demand a prison term of 3-15 years and deportation of the engineer on charges of molesting a child.
