Dubai Man Who Kidnapped And Sexually Assaulted A Teacher In A Desert Is Now Standing Trial
A Dubai-based Pakistani man stood trial on Tuesday for kidnapping a woman by taking her to a remote desert area and sexually assaulting her in his car.
According to Khaleej Times, the incident happened on February 1 and was reported to the Al Rashidiyah police station.
The 29-year-old salesman from Pakistan had been drinking with the Belarusian woman, who works as a teacher, at a nightclub in the emirate.
Later that night, instead of dropping her home as promised, he took her to the remote area in the desert, forced himself on her and also threatened to hurt her.
