DUBAI // An umemployed man has been convicted of breaking into a villa and molesting the Filipina waitress who resided there.
The criminal court heard that on September 28 last year, Bangladeshi A M, 25, followed his victim to her house before assaulting her.
The waitress, A D, said: “He hugged me then started kissing me on the lips before I could manage to scream and ask for help.”
