DUBAI // A security guard molested a maid at the home where she worked in Al Barsha, a court heard.
Filipina JT was working at the villa in April when 33-year-old TK arrived and asked to check the yard, prosecutors said.
“I let him. After a while he asked for water,” said JT, 35. “He asked why it was hot and I said the a/c was not working.”
The maid showed TK a broken unit in a bedroom and went to the kitchen.
“He came to the kitchen and hugged me, I pushed him away but he grabbed me and started kissing me,” JT said, adding that she started screaming and crying and told TK her employer would be home soon.
TK got scared and left the house.
JT’s employer, MA, from the UK, arrived 30 minutes later and found the maid in tears. She reported the incident to police.
TK did not appear at the Dubai Criminal Court to enter a plea to a charge of molestation.
The next hearing is set for June 21.
