Dubai: A five-year-old schoolgirl has said she will never go to karate classes again after her coach molested her.
The 28-year-old Indian coach is facing trial for molesting the compatriot girl while training her at a karate school in Dubai.
The Public Prosecution charged the suspect, K.M., with molesting the girl. He denied the charges before Dubai Court of First Instance. K.M. also handed in a waiver from the parents to the judge who adjourned the case until later this month to give a verdict.
The girl's father testified: "She also [told] me [the coach] repeated his action several times and every time he offered to pay her money." The suspect confessed to molesting the girl to Public Prosecution.
