Dubai: A man, whose face appeared by chance on indecent video images of female shoppers whom he secretly filmed with his cell phone camera, stood trial on Monday.
Records showed the 18-year-old visitor, from Azerbaijan, took 26 indecent snapshots of women shoppers and 14 similar video clips from his cell phone which he put in a shopping basket.
The suspect, identified as A.A., pleaded not guilty and denied the charges before the Dubai Court of First Instance yesterday.
The Public Prosecution charged him with molesting and breaching the privacy of a number of women by hiding his phone camera in his basket to film women in a hypermarket.
Initial interrogations revealed that a Maldivian woman reported the suspect to the mall's security after she realised that he had filmed her after she noticed that he was doing the same thing to another woman.
