A
security guard accused of sexually molesting a woman in Dubai, by
taking pictures under her skirt at a shopping mall has pleaded guilty to
the charge in court on Sunday.
“She
was wearing a very short skirt. Her seductive dressing aroused me and
urged me to take secret snaps from under her skirt with my mobile phone
camera,” claimed the 32-year-old Indian security guard at the Dubai
Court of First Instance.
Prosecutors
accused the defendant of sexually molesting the 29-year-old Russian
businesswoman by using his mobile phone camera and taking pictures of
her.
According
to the accusation sheet, the defendant molested the Russian woman and a
number of unidentified women by similarly taking secret snaps of their
private parts from under their skirts.
“Why did you take those footages?” presiding judge Maher Salama Al Mahdi asked the accused.
The man said it was the way the women dressed that incited him to his illegal actions.
The
businesswoman testified that another woman told her that the man had
taken some photos from under her skirt at Ibn Battuta Mall on October
11.
“I
didn’t pay much attention to an Indian man when I felt that he was
following me. Shortly after that a woman informed me that the same man
took secret photos from under my skirt. I informed the mall’s security
and they apprehended him. He played to us the footage that he took,”
claimed the businesswoman.
Prosecution
records said police seized the suspect’s mobile phone and found 11
similar recordings of unknown women in shopping malls.
When asked by prosecutors why he took the indecent images of women, he claimed it was to please himself.
A judgment will be heard later this month.
