DUBAI // A worker sexually assaulted an 11-year-old boy who was on his way home, a court has heard.

On April 29, the 28-year-old Pakistani followed the Indian boy to his building in Al Rafaa and attacked him.

“My son walked into the house scared and confused, and I asked him what was wrong,” said the boy’s father, 44. “He said a man pulled him by force and molested him.

“I went with my son and started looking for the offender. I also informed the security guard who checked the building’s cameras then showed my son some clips, and my son identified the defendant.”

In Dubai Criminal Court, the worker denied a charge of sexual assault charge.

A verdict is expected on June 21.
