The Dubai Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the Dubai Criminal Court to send a 27-year-old Filipina housemaid to one year in jail and deport her for sexually abusing a 5-year-old girl of her employer.
The Dubai Court of Appeal rejected the plea of the prosecutors who filed an appeal for harsher punishment for the domestic worker.
On February 7, the child’s mother alerted the police about the domestic worker’s actions after her daughter told her about it.
The Filipina domestic helper has been working with her employer for 18 months.
She usually looks after the victim and her sibling when their mother is away studying.
