A British teacher was raped in her flat in Dubai in the early hours of New Year’s Day after returning home from a party the worse the wear for drink.
This week a 30-year-old Nigerian salesman was jailed for 10 years by a court in the United Arab Emirates. Under local laws he was not identified.
The National said the 32-year-old woman arrived back at her apartment near the Silicon Oasis at 3am and saw the man standing near the lift of the building.
The woman contacted the police and the suspect was soon identified.
A policeman told the court: ‘He told us that he was visiting one of his friends in the same building but didn’t find him and that as he was leaving the building, he met the woman near the lift and she was drunk.’
The man admitted having sex with the teacher but claimed it was consensual.
But he was convicted at Dubai Criminal Court and will be deported back to Nigeria after serving his prison term.
There are around 250,000 British expats in Dubai, mainly working in teaching, tourism, finance and the oil industry.
Crime is generally very low.
The Silicon Oasis is an enterprise zone for IT companies to the east of downtown Dubai.
