A nanny stood trial at a Dubai court for allegedly taking her shirt off in front of an 8-year-old autistic boy and making him fondle her. The 22-year-old Filipina woman is accused of taking advantage of the boy's condition to molest him several times while his mother was out of the country.
She was charged with molestation at the Court of First Instance. The incident was reported in April to Al Qusais police station.
The boy's mother, a 43-year-old French housewife, said she had hired the defendant as a nanny about four months prior to the complaint to take care of her son, who is autistic and has speech difficulties.
"I had to take her back to the recruitment office to cancel her residence visa in April because of her bad behaviour. However, my boy started behaving aggressively and using abusive words. He would also touch my mother inappropriately after the nanny left work at our house. I could not understand the reason behind the sudden change in his behaviour."
The mother added that her Ethiopian maid recounted to her how she spotted the nanny on several occasions taking her shirt off in front of the child and making him touch her. "She said she did not tell me right away because the nanny threatened that she would expose her relationship with a man."
The mother told the prosecutor she had to get her son examined by special therapists after he became aggressive and very sad over the nanny's departure from their villa.
The Ethiopian maid, 26, said she saw the nanny misbehave with the child on two occasions as his mother was outside the country.
"When I scolded the defendant, telling her that it was wrong to take advantage of the child's special condition, she entered the room with him and locked the door. She would do that often and I have no idea what she was doing there. I did not report her before because she threatened to beat me if I did."
The court will pronounce a ruling on July 25.
