Another Briton Raped in Dubai..

Another rape case... They are extremely hard to prove.. I wonder how it will pan out !

A British woman was raped twice by an Arab soldier in Dubai after accepting a ride back to her apartment in his car, a Dubai court has heard.

The 20-year-old, who works as an office secretary in the Muslim state, said she was attacked after enjoying a night out with friends in the Buddha Bar on January 4.

During the evening she struck up a conversation with Saif Khamis Jumaa Al Suwaidi.

The 30-year-old Emirati soldier bought her a drink before persuading her to let him drive her back to her apartment on Palm Jumeirah, the man-made island.

But once she was in his Nissan Altima, he drove to a spot in the desert, she told the Dubai Court of First Instance.
'I refused [the lift] but he kept insisting so finally I accepted.

'He was totally drunk and after ten minutes we reached an empty place in the desert. I was scared because I didn't know what he was going to do to me.'

When she challenged him she claims he became aggressive and started to smash her head against the car window on the passenger's side before raping her.

Al Suwaidi allegedly drove his victim back to her apartment on Palm Island where he raped her for a second time.

When they reached her apartment the woman told Al Suwaidi her father was in the house, but he is said not to have believed her. He allegedly raped her again.

She claims Al Suwaidi then grabbed her mobile phone and saved his number and name in it, asking her to call him, before leaving the flat.

Police found his DNA on the victim's underwear, the court heard.

Al Suwaidi denies rape.

The trial, which was adjourned until next month, continues.

The girl accepted a drink and a ride but it wasn't an open invitation for rape. The sad thing is she could have avoided it by not trusting the guy in the first place.

i like when suddenly Nationalities get involved :)

but both were drunk, and in this case both are not under control.maybe she asked money and he refused.

or the price was high.

but i am expecting more and more from people,and goodness is fading away.

it will not getting better,so wake up people and come back to reality.

west are pushing on us and some times invading our culture to leave the religion, but they don't know that they are unleashing a hidden beast. :(

and only God and following his religion will strain these monsters from doing mistakes in our communities .

OK let's look at this from another perspective. A bank has cash, guy comes in with a gun and forces cashiers to hand over cash - it's the bank's fault because they have cash.

Yes,I agree, she was stupid to accept the ride - but the price paid for that drive is far more than the stupidity.

1. A woman accepting a lift, wearing skirts or sleeveless blouses will NEVER be an excuse for an idiot to abuse on her......

2. If an idiot is not enough MAN to conquer a woman heart and make her feel so in love as to give him all by her own willing DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE A MAN... RAPERS are useless men who dont have guts and balls.....

3. Dont do others what u dont like to yourself..would u all be so arrogant if that happens to a relative of u... and dont come with stupid comments that would never happens cus they are saints.....

RAPERS deserve their things to be CUT in pieces.... and make them eat them ....

When they reached her apartment the woman told Al Suwaidi her father was in the house, but he is said not to have believed her. He allegedly raped her again."

So was she got raped for twice in a single day in her appratment???

What if she was too scared to fight? There may, then, not be much evidence of violence.

That doesn't make it consensual.

Just an opinion, nothing certain:

With the evidence mentioned here, it may be proved that sex was committed (Semen on the clothes of the victim)however this needs to be proved if it was Consentual or forcible to determine the gravity of the offence and determine liability. The medical report should also show signs of resistance (scratches and bruises etc)especially in areas around the Private area as in other areas like head injury maybe caused by any thing else as well. If not then it is a consentual sex and we may be supporting only one version of the storey.

Further we need to see the eyewitnesses account before and after the offence and occular version must support physical evidence.

Now the man will definitely be punished. However if it was proved that the sex was consentual then she will get punished as well.

the combination of too much alcohol and bad judgment is so dangerous for women :( All things said, though, the DM loves to dig this stuff up when it's happening in our own back yard all the time.

I did find it amusing they published the bloke's name though, since the names of local perps and suspects are so closely guarded around here.

I guess that would be idea punishment in the Islamic emirates and would deter future rapist to think twice.

By nomerci• 26 Aug 2010 16:43

It;s really quite simple. Apparently women can't expect all men to behave decent. Therefore women need to protect themselves and avoid potentially dangerous situations.

I am not saying this is right, but for the time being this seems to be the best strategy.

I also think it would be very satisfactory if women learned to kick those areshole's arses BEFORE they can get nasty.

Sadly today in such cases benefit of the doubt is given to both sides. For as much as there's a widespread of crimes against women namely rape, there are also those women who cry rape falsely for various reasons. However supposing what she says is all true,Allahu'aalim,then its really harrowing a situation and I pray she gets justice.And I agree with Ice Maiden...women should be more careful. Qadrallah mashafa'l hope this serves as a warning to all women out there..never never take such risks!

How sad. Can't imagine how she must feel, but, yes she was stupid for getting in a strangers car. However, that doesn't justify anyone taking that sort of disgusting action on anyone. I hope she gets through this, and that this raises more awareness for girls to NOT get in to strangers cars. You never know who they could be, no matter how they try to perceive themselves.

the court might rule that the offender was insane or mentally weak which led him to commit the suicid

the are considerable number of cases commited by UAe locals in the past

If the second case, the brit female concerned here and the all the females in UAE or GCC - you should have learned a lesson from the previous cases or from this one.

If you dont have own transport, dont go to bar. this will minimise the exposure
