A 60-year-old man allegedly kidnapped and raped a maid in the desert after he forced her into his 4WD posing as a policeman, a court heard.

The man, an Emirati working as a mechanic, faced rape and kidnap charges in the Court of First Instance. He denied the charge alleging the sex was consensual.

The maid, a 33-year-old Ethiopian, said in the investigation that she had gone shopping at a nearby hypermarket in Al Qusais. She was walking back home around 10am in September last year when a 4WD driven by the defendant stopped. He honked, stepped out of the car, grabbed her hand and forced her in claiming to be a policeman.

There were two Asian workers in his car and he dropped them off later. He then drove to a deserted place where he stopped and undressed her by force. He then raped her in the back seat of the car.

A policeman said that they summoned the defendant to Al Qusais police station after the Criminal Lab report revealed that the DNA of the semen on the maid’s body matched with the defendant’s DNA sample in the police database. The defendant has a similar criminal case.

Hopefully they wont't blame the maid now for going willingly with the old guy. Its high time the authorities there, here and in all this places stop the abuse against helpless and poor workers otherwise one day this same criminal things might come knocking to their own door

Well if they've got his DNA on file I assume he's been accused of rape before.

Couple of things here.

What has his age got to do with things ?

I am intrigued by "The defendant has a similar criminal case."
