An Indian man in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been sentenced to one year in jail for molesting a seven-year-old British girl on the pretext of giving her tissues, media reported.
The 25-year-old man, who is a cook, tricked the British girl to go with him to the toilet of a restaurant on the pretext of giving her tissues, locked her up and molested her, the Khaleej Times reported Tuesday.
The incident took place March 7. The Court of First Instance ordered the cook to be deported after serving his jail term, the report said.
The incident took place at a restaurant where they were having lunch, the girl's mother said.
"My daughter went to the toilet to wash her hands but she was shaking and looked afraid when she came back," the mother was quoted as saying.
