Dubai, December 27: A manager faces four years in jail for raping and assaulting a girl whom he had met in a social networking chatroom. He has also been charged with stealing her belongings.

The Dubai Court of First Instance sentenced the 34-year-old Jordanian manager, A.A., to three years in jail for having sex with the 26-year-old Kazakh girl, E.A., and assaulting her. He was also jailed for one year for stealing her belongings.

Presiding Judge Hamad Abdul Latif Abdul Jawad, who pronounced yesterday's verdict, also charged A.A. with kidnapping the girl. "He will be deported after serving his punishment," the judge said in courtroom seven.

The 26-year-old plaintiff said the accused had pointed a sharp tool at her back, and forced her into the apartment where he beat and raped her. Then, he absconded with her belongings.

During questioning by prosecution lawyers, A.A. countered the girl's allegations and claimed she had offered to have consensual sex with him for $500 (around Dh1,900). He claimed to have beat her because she bit his chest and tongue during intercourse.

Prosecutors said A.A. had pointed a sharp tool at E.A.'s back, forced her into her Al Barsha apartment and raped her thrice. He was charged with injuring E.A. and causing her two per cent permanent disability.

A.A. was sentenced in absentia.

List of stolen items

According to the arraignment sheet, A.A. beat E.A. and whipped her with a cable. He stole her sunglasses, iPhone, laptop, massage machine, hair dryer, mobile phone, internet modem and false eyelashes.

"I met him on one of the social networking sites… his style attracted me. I decided to hear his voice and sent him my mobile number. He picked me up and we went for dinner. We had alcohol. Around 3:30am, he asked to go to my flat… when I refused, his looks and tone changed completely. He forced me into my flat, undressed and raped me. Then, he threw me into the bath tub and opened the tap," E.A. said.

Records said the girl went to the balcony in her apartment and cried out for help. Due to the severe beating, the girl had to be rushed to a hospital after police broke into the flat and rescued her.

Police identified the suspect from his car plate number. It was caught on a surveillance camera at the parking lot of the restaurant where they had dined.

Pratapgarh, Jun 2: In a shocking incident, a young man was tied to a tree and set afire by the family of a woman with whom he was allegedly having an affair in Pratapgarh district of Uttar Pradesh late on Monday night.

The man, 25, was a resident of Bhujauni village under Fatanpur police station, and he died on the spot.

Enraged over the incident, his family members and local people turned violent and set two police vehicles on fire.

Additional forces were rushed in to control the situation that remains tense.

The body has been sent for post-mortem.

According to Superintendent of Police (SP), Pratapgarh, Abhishek Singh, "Some people barged into the house of Ambika Patel and dragged him away. They then tied Patel to a tree some distance away and set him on fire after sprinkling petrol on him. They fled immediately after." Agitated family members and villagers assembled at the site and set a 112 police response vehicle (PRV) and another police jeep on fire. They were demanding immediate arrest and action against the accused.

The official said that Patel's relatives claimed that he was having an affair with a woman from his village and this had resulted in many face-offs between the families.

Patel had reportedly shared a video clip of the woman on social media a few months ago further increasing tension between the families.

The woman's family members had registered a police complaint against Patel in this connection at the Fatanpur police station that led to his arrest. He was released from jail recently, police added.

The woman had been recently selected as a police constable and was posted to Kanpur.

The SP said that an FIR had been registered on the complaint of the victim's family and efforts were on to arrest the accused.
