A 31-year old man has admitted recording a video of a woman getting undressed to take a shower while he stood outside her house. The man, a driver of Indian descent confessed to charges at Dubai Court of First Instance of sexually abusing the woman and breaching her privacy on Tuesday.
Prosecutors said on December 29, 2014, the 42-year old woman was set to jump in the shower at her home when she noticed light coming from a vent in the bathroom.
“I noticed a flash of light from the vent and I yelled and my husband came and I told him that someone was taking pictures of me while I was naked”, the woman said.
Her 32-year-old husband said it was 11:30 pm when he heard his wife shouting for help. “I tried to calm her down and she told me that someone was taking pictures of her and she saw the flash through the vent”.
“I went out and around the villa and saw the defendant and he was afraid,” he added.
At first, the driver denied the accusation, but the angry husband questioned him further and he confessed to recording the woman.
The man then claimed he had deleted the video and thrown his phone in a rubbish bin. “I went to the bin and took the phone and opened it,” the husband said.
“I saw a video of my wife taking off her clothes before screaming”.
Dubai Police officers who arrested the driver said he confessed to recording her.
“I asked him why he did that and he claimed that he liked the woman so he recorded her on video,” a policeman said.
The trial has been adjourned for a verdict
