Man jailed for molesting child in UAE while parents were away
Abu Dhabi - The parents had left the boy in the care of the man and a housemaid.
The Criminal Court of First Instance in Al Dhafra handed down the sentence to the Asian man after he was found guilty of molesting the child, who was below 10 years of age.
Official court documents stated that the Asian man had kissed the child and made him touch him inappropriately when the boy's parents had travelled abroad for a short holiday.
The family had apparently left their house and their child under the care of the man and a housemaid.
The Asian man, who was working for the Arab family, abused the boy when the housemaid had gone out to a shop.
Prosecutors said the child told his mother what the worker did to him when she returned from the holiday. She immediately informed her husband who lodged a complaint with the police.
Prosecutors charged him with molesting the child.
The man denied the charge in court stating the accusation was not true, and it was the child who acted strangely when he was alone in the house.
Prosecutors, however, presented evidence of the CCTV footage showing the worker as he sexually abused the child in his employer's home.

There are many ways to judge the success or failure of a country. We can look at its economy, the strength of its military or the quality of its education. We can examine the soundness of our bridges or the smoothness of our highways. But what if we used a different standard? We should judge a nation by a simple metric: the number of weeping parents it allows, the small caskets it tolerates
