Abu Dhabi: A woman and two men have been charged with committing adultery within the premises of a farm in Abu Dhabi although DNA tests have not conclusive, the Criminal Court of First Instance heard.

According to Dr Iman Al Jaberi who is representing the divorced female defendant, the woman claims to have been invited by a watchman who was on-duty at the time.

“I was looking for a job when he [the watchman] called me at around 3pm. When I went there, several workers surrounded me and then the owner’s brother walked in on us and reported us to the police,” she said.

When the authorities arrived at the scene, many of the men had fled except for three who were arrested and charged with committing adultery. “Two semen samples had been obtained from the women but the results do not confirm that they belong to the two men,” Al Jaberi said.

One of the three men was acquitted.

The farm owner’s brother who had initially alleged seeing the defendants involved in sexual activities with the woman, later changed his testimony while under oath.

Similarly, the watchman whom the woman claims had let her enter the premises, therefore deeming her not guilty of trespassing, later denied that he had done such a thing at the Public Prosecutor’s office.

The case has been adjourned.
