The Court of First Instance heard that the 28-year-old Pakistani assistant mechanic was in a building to drop business cards when he spotted the little girl and led her away to sexually abuse her.
He is accused of kissing and inappropriately touching the girl as well as showing her an adult video clip.
Upon referring him to court, prosecutors requested that a stiff penalty be inflicted on him.
He denied charges of molestation and possession of morally inappropriate material with the intention of showing them to others.
The complaint was filed on May 10, 2017, at Al Muraqqabat police station.
The girl's father, a 40-year-old Indian warehouse supervisor, said his daughter went outside their building in Hor Al Anz to play with other children in the same complex.
"At around 5:40 pm, we received a phone call from the mother of another girl telling us that our daughter was sexually abused by a stranger. She then brought our girl home," the father said.
"Our daughter, who looked very scared, told us that a man, who spoke our language, grabbed her by the hand and led her to the higher floor stairs of an adjacent building where he inappropriately touched her and showed her a porn clip on his mobile phone. That man let her go after threatening her not to inform her parents."
The father then called the police stating that it was not the first sexual assault incident to take place in their complex and other kids had been sexually abused prior to this episode.
"We received several complaints at Al Muraqqabat police station about kids falling victims to sexual harassment," a policeman said.
"During interrogation, the defendant confessed he was in a building to distribute air-conditioning maintenance cards. He spotted a little girl and grabbed her hand taking her to the upper floor stairs. He admitted he molested her but denied having shown her any porn photos or clip."
