Manager deported by Dubai court for molesting accountant



DUBAI // A financial manager molested an accountant and sent her pornographic videos on WhatsApp.

The Filipina victim, 22, said that between May and July last year her Jordanian boss, 37, touched her several times at their office in Naif.

She thought the first few times had been accidents.

“Then he touched my breast and my thigh and I was scared to do anything, but when he started sending the clips I spoke to him strongly then informed the general manager,” she said.

The court was shown copies of seven messages, which included pornographic video clips sent from the defendant’s number to the accountant’s phone.

The Jordanian, 37, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of sexual assault in February, was convicted and given a three-month suspended sentence by Dubai Criminal Court.

He will be deported immediately.
