Woman pleads not guilty to molestation, robbery charges

An Arab woman, aged 32, who allegedly molested an Asian man in a bid to rob him pleaded not guilty yesterday before the High Criminal Court.

The woman, a mother of seven children, is said to have molested her victim at a laundry shop, where the Asian man was working before she robbed him and fled the scene.  

Revealing the events of the incident, the victim told prosecutors when he filed the case against the Arab woman:

“The woman was wearing a niqab (veil) when she entered the shop. She asked me water and then said she wants to go to the toilet. “I told her the shop didn’t have a toilet. Suddenly, she entered my area and pressed her body against mine before she hugged me and touched my private parts.” 

While she was doing that, the “Arab woman reached her hand into the pant pocket of the victim in a bid to snitch his wallet”. “I directly grabbed her hand to deny her from doing this.

She stretched her other hand into another pant pocket and stole BD8,” he added.  The victim described the events he endured as a nightmare, stating that the woman had a large build.
