Man is jailed for touching woman’s bottom as they waited for lift in Dubai
Dubai Criminal Court
Dubai - Arab Today
An unemployed man will spend three months in jail after being found guilty of touching a woman’s behind as she was waiting for the lift in her building.
"Yes, I touched her bottom," said the 23-year-old Pakistani when confronted with a sexual assault charge at Dubai Criminal Court earlier this month.
On April 29 two years ago, the Indian woman, 45, was waiting for the lift in International City at about 10pm.
"He stood behind me then, when he did what he did, I screamed at him and chased him but he escaped," said the woman, who called police right away.
"But since it had been a long time since it happened, when they called me to identify him, I couldn’t."
However, the defendant was seen in CCTV camera footage grabbing the woman’s bottom.
A policeman said it took months to track down the defendant and he was arrested in August 2015 and found to be involved in another case.
"He admitted the sex assault willingly, even thought the woman did not recognise him," said the officer, 56.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
