UAE cop faces court for accepting runaway Pinay’s ‘sex bribe’
A policeman in the United Arab Emirates faced a court this week on charges he did not arrest a runaway Filipina maid in exchange for sexual favors, a UAE news site reported Wednesday.
The policeman, 38, did not enter a plea before the Dubai Court of First Instance, while the Filipina was not brought from her detention center, Gulf News reported.
The maid was charged for offering a bribe to the policeman.
A separate report on Khaleej Times said the policeman had the rank of sergeant.
It added the case has been adjourned to October 14.
Prosecutors said the incident started when the policeman saw the maid, 33, waiting at a bus stop with two fellow Filipinos at Dubai Academic City last May.
When the policeman found the three Filipinas were found to have run away from their employers, the Filipina offered to have sex with the policeman just so he would not arrest her.
"We were informed a number of times that the suspect had been requesting sexual bribes from women staying or working illegally in Dubai. The information that we received mentioned that the suspect used to ask illegal residents [women] for their identification cards and contact numbers," said a lieutenant from Dubai Police’s anti-corruption department.
The lieutenant said the accused policeman "would (later) attempt to befriend those illegal residents and request to have sex with them or any form of sexual service against not turning them in."
According to the lieutenant, their surveillance teams noticed the accused policeman picked up a woman and drove into the parking lot of a college at Academic City.
While the policeman claimed he was alone in the car, he "quivered" when police asked him if he had company with him.
"He denied this several times until he finally admitted that he had a woman with him… the two suspects confessed that they had consensual sex in the parking,” the lieutenant said.
According to the accused, he asked the three Filipinas for identification cards, and discovered their employers had reported them as absconders.
“She offered to give me money and to have sex with me in return for not detaining her. I took her to the college’s parking and had sex with her,” the suspect said.
For her part, the maid confessed to the prosecutor that she had consensual sex with the policeman to avoid arrest.
