Ras Al Khaimah: A 25-year-old Asian maid has alleged that the 62-year-old father of her employer raped her in a remote area of Al Munaie here.
Police arrested the suspect identified as A.S. and during the initial investigations, the suspect allegedly confessed to have fallen in love with the maid, who refused to have any relationship with him.
The employer and family had gone out of the house when his father allegedly forced himself on her.
The maid informed the police of the incident after which they arrested the suspect.
The Public Prosecution pressed charges against the suspect and referred him to the Criminal Court. During the first court hearing, the suspect denied the charges and claimed the maid had been trying to seduce him to have sex for money, which he refused to accept.
The suspect accused the maid had sex with her ex-employers for money, adding that she changed three employers in the past six months. The court posted the case for November 25 for questioning the victim who did not show up at the court in the first hearing.
Meanwhile, the court sentenced a woman and her lover to three months' jail each and to be lashed 100 times each for having an illicit affair, resulting in the birth of a baby girl. A senior court official said the woman gave birth to the girl in prison after being arrested in an advanced stage of pregnancy.
