According to the records, FJ pretended to be capable of finding ZM a job in RTA via senior staff he claimed he know and he asked her to meet him to give him her CV.

“I met him as he had asked me to give him my CV. I rode in his car and while he drove, he asked me to have sex with him. I refused and asked him to drop me back to my car but he did not listen to me. While driving, I tried to open the doors but he held my hand and calmed me down and drove me back to my car. When I was about to get off his car, he snatched my bag which had a mobile phone and Dh2,400. He also threatened to publish my pictures if I refused to have sex with him,” she testified.
