Dubai: A prisoner is standing trial for having forceful sex with a sleeping inmate, who had taken his medication which made him sleepy and lacking in sensation.
The Public Prosecution charged the 20-year-old national, F.A., with waiting for the 24-year-old Bangladeshi inmate, O.O., to fall asleep before having sex with him against his will.
Records said the victim, is serving a five-year imprisonment for rape charges, suffers a mental illness. A doctor who examined the Bangladeshi changed his initial medication and prescribed him a new one with a stronger dosage. The victim claimed before his interrogators that the new medication ‘makes him lack sensation and quickly fall to sleep'.
A jail guard testified that F.A. was seen leaving O.O.'s prison cell on the surveillance camera before it was discovered that the latter had been reportedly sexually abused during his sleep and without him feeling or noticing anything.
"We struggled to wake him up and inform him that he had been sexually abused. O.O. claimed to us that he was deeply asleep during the incident and didn't feel that he had been sexually abused on his own bed," said the jail guard.
The alleged victim, who was memorising the Quran to have his imprisonment reduced, testified: "The doctor told me that my initial medication was ineffective and gave me a stronger one for my mental illness. Four hours later one of the policemen woke me up and took me to the duty officer's office where I was told that I was abused. I couldn't feel any pain in my anus until the next day when I was using the toilet."
The legal procedures continue before the Dubai Court of First Instance soon.
