Dubai – A 33-year-old Filipina maid has been convicted of molesting her sponsor’s four-year-old son by inserting her finger inside his rectum while changing his diaper and causing him constant pains.
The Dubai Court of First Instance sentenced her to three months in jail.
The child’s mother noticed redness around the child’s body, as he complained to his mother about pain in his rectum, which he said was caused by the maid.
The mother took her child to be examined by a paediatrician, who disclosed to her that her son had been molested.
The Filipina accused appealed her three months imprisonment before the Appeal Court and sought to be acquitted.
Prosecutors also sought to have her punishment stiffened before the appellate court.
Presiding judge Dr Ahmad Al Mutawa dismissed the Filipina’s appeal and accepted that of prosecutors and lengthened the jail term to six months.
The Filipina who pleaded not guilty will be deported.
