'Employer' molests job-seeking woman

A jobless Emirati man is facing charges of allegedly molesting a Filipina job-seeker whom he offered a job but tried to get sexual favours.

The 36-year-old woman Florinda K, told police that she received a call on March 8 from the accused who identified himself as Mohammed who owns a garment shop at Hamar Ain Centre.

Offering her a a job, he said he would pick her up from Al Bustan Centre. But the woman became suspicious when he took her to a villa in Al Ghusais instead of Deira.

But he tried to comfort her by saying the company operated from a villa.

Once in the villa, things turned nasty when he asked her to the bedroom and touched her.

The woman managed to inform her husband by calling a friend and narrated the incident to her.

Testifying in the court, the woman's husband Nawaf H, 54, who works as a driver corroborated the developments and said he got a call from his wife's friend whom she informed about the incident.

He later called the Emirati man and asked about his wife, after which she was allowed to go.

The 41-year-old accused, who is jobless, identified only as KMH however claimed in his testimony that he was a good-hearted man and helped people find jobs.

He denied the allegations in the case adjourned by Dubai Criminal Court to September 28.
