Worker accused of groping 16-year-old student in elevator in Dubai

She had entered her gate passcode and walked inside the building.

A man is accused of groping a teenager in an elevator in Dubai.  
The Pakistani worker had entered the lift with the 16-year-old student at her residence. 
The student said she had just entered the gate passcode and walked inside, last year on June 8. 
"The man entered right behind me. When I was about to exit the lift on the fourth floor, he groped me. I stepped back and kicked him."
The girl said she then screamed for her mother to help her.
He rushed out of the elevator, took the stairs and ran out of the building.
Surveillance cameras showed the worker getting into the elevator with the student, then rushing out shortly thereafter.
The Pakistani girl was taken by her parents to Al Muraqqabat police station to report the incident.
After she identified him in a lineup, the defendant admitted to the charge during his interrogation.
The court will issue a ruling on April 26.
