An Asian businessman is facing trial on suspicion of harassing an Arab girl, pretending to teach her how to ride a horse.
The suspect reportedly hugged the 9-year-old girl and touched parts of her body, said Emarat Al Youm.
The 39-year-old man went up with the girl in the lift to the 90th floor where she lives, although he stays on the 60th floor of a high-rise residential tower.
The Public Prosecution charged the businessman with abusing of the girl under duress inside the lift and referred him to stand trial at the Criminal Court.
“My terrified daughter came home suddenly and told me that a man in the lift harassed her and touched parts of her body, pretending to teach her horse-riding,” the mother said.
