DUBAI // A driver threatened to post a video of his female friend naked on the internet if she did not have sex with him, a court heard on Monday.

The woman, a 27-year-old Filipina, told Dubai Criminal Court that she was with Pakistani G K, 36, in his car one evening last year when they drove from Sharjah to a flat in Al Qusais where one of his friend’s lived.

Records show that the pair went to a room in the flat and started getting intimate. She got undressed but, moments later, the defendant’s friends arrived and started yelling at them.

She said she put her clothes back on and the Pakistani attended to his friends before coming back and asking her to have sex with him. She said she refused.

“He then touched me and, when I tried to walk away from him, he said he took a recording of me naked and that he would post it [online] if I didn’t sleep with him,” the woman said.

She promised him that they would have sex the next day, but she then started ignoring his calls until he sent her a text message that read “OK, done,” to suggest that had posted the video.

The woman got scared and reported him to police. G K denied the accusations and his lawyer requested another hearing date so he could prepare the man’s defence.
