As authorities sprang into action to drain waterlogging, tenants and homeowners had to navigate the aftermath of nature's unpredictability

A 19-year-old Emirati has had his three-month jail term upheld by the Court of Appeals for sexually assaulting a 11-year-old boy. The convict's 13-year-old friend, who had posted a video clip showing the victim naked, on Instagram, was ordered by the Juvenile Court to be placed on judicial probation for a year. During that period, he will be kept under watch and has to attend rehabilitation sessions.
The order was upheld by the appellate court.
The 13-year-old's charges were breaching others' privacy, posting inappropriate material online and sexual assault. A 12-year-old local boy was forced to film the victim naked after the accused threatened to sexually assault him as well. Another 14-year-old compatriot stood there watching but was not involved.
A complaint was filed by the boy's Azerbaijani mother at the Hatta police centre on April 21 last year. The housewife told the prosecutor she checked her son's mobile phone and saw a video clip featuring some teens trying to sexually assault him.
"My son told me two persons had stopped him in the neighborhood and dragged him by force inside the majlis of the house of one of them. There, his clothes were forcibly taken off," the mother said.
