UAE: Rapist’s death penalty reduced to five years’ jail by Court of Appeal

The Dubai Court of Appeal reduced the death penalty awarded to an employer by the Criminal Court of First Instance for raping a job seeker to five years in jail.

HAJ, 44, Iraqi, was ordered to be deported after serving his jail term.

The Dubai Prosecution accused 44-year-old HAJ, Iraqi businessman, of forced sex with a job seeker, taking advantage of her being alone with him in his office.

The 30-year-old victim, EMK, Egyptian visitor, testified that after she read an ad in a local newspaper for a secretary, she went and met the advertiser in his company on January 8.

The accused was arrested in Dubai’s Al Sabkha area on the following day. He claimed he is a Syrian and gave a false name.

When he was told his real name, he admitted he had lied about his name, but denied raping the complainant.

However, forensics reported bruises and scratches on her body that proved that she was subjected to forcible sex. Also, in a DNA test, his sperms were found on the victim’s body and clothes.
