Dubai: Three tourists, including two brothers, have been accused of taking a drunk woman from a nightclub to their hotel room and gang-raping her.

The 33-year-old Moroccan woman was allegedly consuming liquor with her female friend at the nightclub when she accepted the three Saudi men’s invite to take her to their hotel room in January.

The Saudi brothers and their friend told the Moroccan woman, according to records, that they had liquor and they could go and continue drinking at their hotel room in Al Muraqabat.

Once they reached the room, the tourists and the woman started drinking liquor, said records. The woman went into the bedroom and sat beside one of the men on the bed before the trio raped her and molested her one at a time.

Shortly after they finished, the Saudi trio dressed up and left the room before the woman grabbed her phone wanting to call the police.

The Saudis then were believed to have returned to the room, pushed the woman away and took her phone to prevent her from reporting what had happened to the police and left.

Records said the woman called up the reception and asked them to call the police.

The three men and the woman were all taken into custody.

Prosecutors accused the Moroccan woman of consuming alcohol and referred her to the Dubai Misdemeanours Court. She was fined Dh2,000.

Meanwhile the Saudi trio were charged with gang-raping the woman, forcing her to perform oral sex and stealing her phone.

The suspects pleaded not guilty and denied the charges against them when they appeared before the Dubai Court of First Instance on Wednesday.

The suspects dismissed the woman’s claims and contended before presiding judge Fahd Al Shamsi that they had consensual sex with the woman.

One of the suspects’ lawyers provided the court with a written waiver that his clients had obtained from the Moroccan.

The 33-year-old woman testified to prosecutors that the incident happened after she accepted the trio’s invitation to their room to consume alcohol.

“My friend was with me and she refused to join us. We drank alcohol shortly after we arrived at the hotel room… then two of them pretended to be fighting in the bedroom and I went inside to check what was happening. The three then ganged up against me, pinned me down to the bed and one of them placed a pillow over my face to prevent me from shouting. They raped me and two of them forced me to perform oral sex on them. They also took my phone… I asked the receptionist to call the police,” she told prosecutors.

A policeman testified to prosecutors that the suspects were apprehended at the hotel.

“The trio grabbed their belongings and left the room… later they returned because one of them had forgotten something behind. Police arrived before they left again… during questioning they alleged that they had consensual sex with the Moroccan,” he claimed to prosecutors.

The trial continues.
