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.

Amaravati, Jul 31: Nine people have died after allegedly consuming sanitiser in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh today, the police said.

Prakasam district Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the people had been consuming sanitiser for the past few days, mixing it with water and soft drinks.

"We are also investigating whether they laced the sanitiser with any other toxic substances," the official said.

"Their family members say these people have been consuming sanitiser for the past ten days. We are sending the sanitiser stocks, being sold in the area, for examination," he added.

Kurichedu in Prakasam district has been under lockdown due to rise in coronavirus cases and hence, liquor shops have also been shut since the past few days.
