Back to National News listAdmits to molesting girl
A school bus driver has admitted to sexually assault-ing a toddler with a key. The mum of the four-year-old Indian girl discovered her daughter had been molested when the tot complained that she was in pain because “uncle driver had touched her”, the Dubai Court of First Instance heard yesterday. The court heard that the little girl had said: “I was sitting on the back seat and the driver asked me to sit beside him. He touched me several times using his hands and then a key, I asked him to stop.
“He told me that my mum wasn’t on the bus so he would do it again.” The 35-year-old Pakistani driver pleaded guilty to assaulting the youngster before dropping her home in Muraqqabat. The child’s mum told the court: “She (her daughter) was crying when she got off the bus. I asked her why and she told me that the driver did it.” An Emirati officer at Dubai Police said the girl’s parents alerted police and the tot identified the driver from a police line-up. “When she went to go into the room and saw the suspect, she was scared and refused to enter. She pointed at the suspect claiming that he caused her pain,” the officer said. The court heard that the parents had later wanted to withdraw the complaint.
The case was adjourned for a verdict next month.
