Dubai: A Dubai maid has alleged that she was raped by her employer while she was sleeping and that she woke up in the middle of the act as she was a heavy sleeper.
The 30-year-old maid from Angola told the Dubai Court of First Instance on Monday that the 36-year-old Pakistani defendant raped her while she was sleeping inside her room at the defendant’s house in Al Barsha. The incident occurred in August this year when she had not locked the door of her room.
“I woke up to see him naked on the bed. I asked him to leave and I rushed out of the house crying. I then alerted Dubai Police. I’m a heavy sleeper and didn’t feel the defendant while he was touching my body,” said the maid in official records.
A 26-year-old Emirati policeman testified that he saw the victim outside the villa crying and told him that her employer raped her.
“The defendant admitted that he entered the room to change the door’s locker when he saw her sleeping. He said that she was only wearing a black shirt on her body,” the policeman said in records.
During interrogation, the defendant claimed that he thought she wanted to have sex with him as he saw her sleeping without any underwear.
Dubai Public Prosecution charged the defendant with raping the victim.
The defendant failed to show up in court.
I'm willing to bet he is in Pakistan now.

Karachi: Police have rescued 13-year-old Christian girl Arzoo Masih who was allegedly abducted in Karachi and forcefully converted to Islam and unlawfully married to a 44-year-old Muslim neighbour.
Sindh Law and Environment Adviser Barrister Murtaza Wahab, who also acts as the spokesman for the Sindh government, made an announcement to this effect on Twitter.
Wahab said earlier the Sindh High Court, on an application made by the Sindh Government, had ordered the police to locate Arzoo within five days and shift her to a shelter home.
The police said the Christian girl had been rescued safely while the police arrested her alleged husband. The girl is being sent to a shelter home as per the directive of the court.
She will be produced before the court on the date of the next hearing - November 5 - while a medical test will be conducted to know her exact age.
Arzoo had gone missing last month from her home in Railway Colony near Karachi’s Cantonment Railway Station.
Speaking at a press conference, Central President of Minorities’ Wing of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Shunila Ruth, said that a false affidavit had been prepared to show that Arzoo was 18.
She said the Sindh government should have taken action swiftly to rescue the minor after she went missing. She said that marrying a minor girl was an unlawful act.
Leader of Opposition in Sindh Assembly, Firdous Shamim Naqvi, who also belongs to the PTI, said the provincial government should punish the persons who violated the Sindh Child Marriages’ Restrain Act of 2013.
He said all the persons who had facilitated the marriage of the underage girl should be arrested. He said members of religious minorities had been facing several issues in the province related to the human rights.
Punjab Minister for Minorities and Human Rights, Ejaz Alam Augustine, condemned the negligence and dereliction of duty on the part of the Sindh government in Arzoo’s case.
He said the Sindh government had failed to act upon its own laws to give due protection to minorities.
Sindh Governor Imran Ismail also met a delegation of the minorities and stated that the government would not do any compromise on the issue of underage marriages. He assured the delegation that the issue of Arzoo would be resolved in accordance with the law.
Wouldn't it be nice if that were true!
Two women ‘gang-raped & assaulted at police station by a dozen COPS’
after being arrested in India

TWO women were allegedly gang-raped and assaulted at a police station by a dozen COPS after being arrested in Sonipat, India.
A woman and her underaged cousin were accused in the murder case of two policemen - but it has now been claimed that they were gang-raped and molested while in police custody.
The two girls were part of a group of six people accused of murdering the policemen - and were taken to Baroda police station in July, according to The Print.
But one of the victim's mothers claimed that during their custody period, the pair were gang-raped and assaulted by cops.
The older girl was allegedly raped by dozens of policemen, while her underaged cousin was stripped and assaulted, reported The Hindu.
According to the mum, objects were also used during the horrific assault while they were in police custody.
The mother told ThePrint: "The police officials inserted wood sticks, bottles and fingers in their private parts."
After complaining that they were bleeding, the two girls had a medical exam at the Karnal Civil Hospital.
Narendra Chikara, the lawyer representing the women in the gang-rape case, said that the medical examinations don’t indicate sexual assault, "but there are other evidence of the assault which will substantiate the girls’ claims."
ARREST ORDEAL
Over the last two weeks, the case has drawn the attention of the National Human Rights Commission. Bekhauf Azaadi, Chandigarh-based women collective, has now ordered for immediate medical attention for the two girls and an independent probe.
Their report said: "At a time when we are witnessing erosion of long fought rights of survivors in matters of sexual violence whether it is in Hathras incident or Gurmandi case in Delhi, it is all the more important to recognise that patriarchy creates conditions that makes it more difficult to believe survivors in such matters.
"The custodial and caste violence, actions of the police officers, continued harassment of the family members, cannot be ignored and need to be condemned.
"At each step, these police officers belonging to dominant caste have tried to intimidate the family by making assertions that they will never be able to prove anything against the police officers."
This comes after a young female patient in an Indian hospital was allegedly gang-raped by a doctor and staff and then murdered.
Shortly before she died, the 20-year-old reportedly called her parents to tell them she had been brutally sexually assaulted by the medic and other employees.
A rape occurs every 15 minutes and 90 each day on average — according to government data. Large numbers are also feared to go unreported as women do not feel like they can go to the authorities.
Huge demonstrations have been held calling for action. But although the authorities have responded with tougher penalties, India's rape crisis shows no sign of abating.
Indian madness in this horrific story from the London
Shopkeeper dad, 41, slits the throats of his two young children
in lockdown as his customers ‘upset’ him

A SHOPKEEPER dad has today admitted slitting the throats of his two young children during lockdown as his customers "upset" him.
Three-year-old Nigish Nithiyakumar and 19-month-old Pavinya Nithiyakumar were found dead at their home in Ilford, East London.
The children's mother Nisa was in the shower at the time of the knife attack in April and alerted police.
Horrified neighbours heard "tortured" screams coming from the house as Nisa shouted: "Help me".
Dad Nadarajah Nithiyakumar, 41, today pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility at the Old Bailey.
He had been charged with murder after receiving treatment for knife wounds.
Mum Nisa wept in court as her husband's plea was accepted by the prosecution.
KNIFE ATTACK
The court was told shop worker Nithiyakumar was depressed and had been "upset" by his customers.
He told police he thought about killing himself but believed it would "ruin the children's lives and they would go off the rails".
Instead, he cut the throats of both his kids then turned the knife on himself.
So, out of fear that the children would go 'off the rails', he creates a train wreck! Good Grief!
Pavinya was pronounced dead at the scene at 5.53pm and Nigish was rushed to Royal London Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 7.42pm.
Nithiyakumar was arrested on April 29 while receiving treatment and charged with murder after he was discharged from hospital.
The court was told he suffered from a delusional disorder but was receiving "very little treatment".
Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson QC said one expert found it "remarkable he was able to function for as long as he did".
He added: "It was clear it was that disorder that led him to kill his children."
'TORTURED SCREAMS'
Speaking at the time of the knife attack, neighbour Reshna Begum, said she heard screaming coming from the house.
"She said: "I knew something horrible must have happened, it went on for about 10 minutes." Ms Begum said she later saw medics carrying a "little body" in a bag outside.
She added: "My heart just sank, it's devastating, horrific. From a mother's perspective I'm still shaken from it, I can't imagine what she feels at the moment."
Another local, retired builder Thomas Dodds, 78, also told of his horror at the deaths.
Mr Dodds said: "I could tell something awful had happened from the high-pitched screaming. There was lots of screaming and panicking and then it just stopped."
Mrs Justice Cutts adjourned sentencing until December 10 and said she will consider a hospital order.
Nithiyakumar was sent back to the medium secure mental health centre in East London where he is being treated.

This week, the family of a 19-year-old girl in the Indian city of Mumbai strangled her and later dumped her body on a beach, thinking she had died. On Sunday, a farmer who was passing by noticed the girl lying unconscious in the bushes at Suruchi beach in Vasai.
The farmer informed the local police, who took her to a nearby hospital. The girl regained consciousness and started crying, and later narrated her ordeal to the police.
She told them that her parents recently found out that she was in a relationship and were unhappy about it. According to the police, the family was opposed to the relationship and tried dissuading her against it. But, she was persistent about marrying the man.
On Sunday, on the pretext of going out for a walk, her parents and elder brother allegedly took her to the beach before noon. She alleged that they tried to strangle her using the dupatta (scarf) that she was wearing. Assuming that she was dead, they dumped her in the bushes and returned to their residence in Vasai.
Senior inspector Anant Parad said that the cops arrested the girl's parents, aged 55 and 50, and her 25-year-old brother. However, her two younger siblings had no role in the crime, they said.
According to Indian news reports, the police booked the girl’s family under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. And, a Vasai court remanded them to police custody.
The police also seized the cellphones of the family members. Further investigation of the case is on, and the police said they were checking if the family had threatened the man.
