Pinoy charged in UAE for raping Pinay maid

MANILA, Philippines - A 33-year-old Filipino now faces trial in the United Arab Emirates for allegedly raping a Filipino household helper in September last year.

Online news site Khaleej Times reported the man's case was brought before the Criminal Court of First Instance on Sunday.

Court records showed the man, who the report did not name, allegedly lured the maid to his apartment in International City and raped her on September 21 last year.

The woman said that on that day, she called the defendant to pick her up from her workplace at Arabian Ranches.

She said she had wanted him to drop her at the airport to receive her sister whose flight was to arrive at 9:30 p.m.

But the man stopped at a gas petrol station on Emirates Road and offered her a drink. After taking the drink, the woman said she felt dizzy and unable to move.

On the way, he told her that there was still time and he wanted to go to his place to have dinner, and they went to his apartment.

After dinner, the man laid on his bed and took off his shirt. When the woman tried to leave, she found the door locked. The man then switched off the lights and raped her.

They then went to the airport and picked up the woman's sister but she was too afraid to tell anyone about what happened.

But on the following day, she went to the police station with her sister and lodged a complaint. The next hearing is scheduled for March 3. - GMANews.TV
