Dubai: A 28-year-old Indian coach is in the dock on charges of molesting a 5-year-old girl during a martial arts class.
The girl told her parents that she does not want to go for karate classes because her coach licks her face, kisses and touches her.
The Public Prosecution charged the suspect with molesting the girl and groping her private parts.
The suspect denied the charges before the Dubai Court of First Instance.
The girl's 33-year-old father testified before the Public Prosecution: “My wife told me that when she picked our daughter from the karate school, she requested to stop training because her coach harasses her … the girl said her coach licks her face and kisses her besides touching her private parts. She also confessed to me that he repeated his action several times and every time he offered to pay her money but never did.''
The suspect confessed to kissing the girl during public prosecution questioning.
