A carpenter has been sentenced to one year in jail over sexual abuse of a nine-year-old girl.
The Court of First Instance was told the 31-year-old Bangladeshi worker was painting the gate of a villa (an accommodation for hospital staff), when he spotted the girl playing outside.
He groped and touched her inappropriately finding her alone. She screamed and got away from him.
However, the worker denied molestation charge in court and claimed he only wanted to take her away from the nails and sharp tools.
The court convicted him of the charge and ordered his deportation after he served his jail term.
The girl's mother, a 43-year-old Jordanian housewife, said she was at a nearby supermarket when she received a phone call from her daughter.
"She told me that a worker touched her. As I reached the villa gate my daughter came to me and pointed at a worker who was painting the gate saying that he did 'it.'"
She heard from her daughter at home that the man also tried to drag her behind the villa.
The girl's father confirmed he saw his daughter screaming and crying when he came home around 2:30pm.
He lodged a complaint with Al Rafaa police station and the next day the worker was arrested.
The verdict may be appealed.
