A 28-year-old Indian technician, STT, allegedly groped a Filipina maid in her employer’ house where he had gone to repair the air conditioning system, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

The victim, EKM, 21, testified that on August 26, two technicians came to the house of her employer for repairing the AC system.

“They went to the roof and after an hour the accused asked me for a glass of water. I was shocked when he followed me into the kitchen.

“I gave him a cup of water and after drinking it he told me: ‘I like you’. Then he surprised me when he started groping my left breast. When I shouted at him, he apologised.

“I took my employer’s baby to my room and called my employer who rushed to the house and called the police,” she testified.

The court will give its verdict on November 14.
