Indian faces UAE court for molesting Pinay co-worker

A 33-year-old Indian stood trial in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Wednesday over allegations that he molested his 35-year-old Filipina co-worker. According to a report of Khaleej Times, the Filipina, an accountant, alleged that the Indian, a finance manager, molested her at her doorstep in May last year. Khaleej Times said the Filipina's two-year-old son rushed to answer the door. When the Filipina ran after her son, she was surprised that her co-worker was the one who was at the door. The report said the Indian fondled the Filipina and ran after she screamed. The Filipina said the Indian had also fondled her earlier at their workplace and asked her to have sex with him but she rejected his offer, the report said. The Khaleej Times report said the building’s watchman confirmed seeing the woman’s husband running after the defendant that day. The accused reportedly apologized several times and was seen driving away in his car. A Jordanian manager at the same company said the Filipina had approached him earlier crying and complaining about being sexually harassed by the Indian, the report said. - VVP, GMA News
