A tailor allegedly took advantage of the fact that one of his clients was dumb to grope her, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

The 26-year-old victim informed investigators in sign language that she had gone with her mother and brother’s wife to a tailoring shop in the Naif area.

While her mother and brother’s wife were busy talking to one of the tailors, another tailor passed behind her and groped her.  At first, she thought that it was accidental.

When he repeated the offence, she raised her voice that drew the attention of her companions. The mother shouted at the tailor and stepped out of the shop to call a policeman in uniform walking nearby.

The policeman entered the shop and arrested the accused who claimed that it was accidental.

The Prosecution asked the Court to implement the stiffest penalty against the accused. The Court will reconvene on September 26.
