The Fujairah Criminal Court presided over by Judge Saeed Masoud has also ordered the man to be deported after serving his jail term.

According to court records, the Arab girl’s father lodged a complaint with the Fujairah Police in October last year about the suspect molesting his daughter while she was playing a game.

The accused denied the charges, claiming that his job requires him to check that the safety belt is well tightened around children wanting to practice such games before starting the game.

However, the public prosecution charged the accused with molesting a minor girl and referred the case to court.
