DUBAI // A man who broke into a family’s home and molested their teenage daughter in her bed at knife-point will spend the next three years in jail.
The 37-year-old Sri Lankan cleaner entered the house at 3am through an open window on January 27 this year.
He forced his 14-year-old victim to strip and molesting her before fleeing.
A month later, the girl saw the man in a park and called police.
Prosecutors said the cleaner confessed to charges of sexual assault, attempted robbery and trespassing during questioning. However he denied the charges in Dubai Criminal Court last July.
He was found guilty by the court and sentenced to three years in prison to be followed by deportation.
