A 47-year-old Arab manager was sentenced to nine months in Dubai prison and deportation for filming a female tenant without her consent. He also tried to sexually harass the victim. 
The 49-year-old victim had rented a flat owned by the accused when the incident occurred. The defendant installed hidden cameras in the apartment and threatened to leak the victim's naked videos, Emarat Al Youm reported.   
According to the public prosecutor's investigation, the victim said that she had met the accused after contacting him to help her ship few belongings to her country. 
She had found his number in a magazine advertisement. She added that she recommended the accused to her friend, a witness in the case, after asking about a shipping company. When the accused met her friend he was impressed by his office decor and asked the victim to help him get few designs for a commission.  
The victim then called the accused to receive her commission, but he reportedly told her she will get her money if she agrees to have unsolicited sex with him. 
The victim then informed the defendant's wife about the incident. This angered the accused and drove him to threaten the victim of leaking the videos and a recorded phone conversation between her and a friend if she didn't call his wife to apologise.
