Dubai: A 19-year-old student faces a year in jail for luring a 16-year-old schoolgirl to his house where he molested her after promising to give her his pet dog.

The Dubai Court of First Instance convicted the Emirati, A.M., of sexually molesting the Kuwaiti schoolgirl after he tricked and lured her to his house.

When the accused appeared in court, he pleaded not guilty.

"No. I am innocent. I did not trick her and that did not happen," claimed A.M. when he defended himself before Presiding Judge Al Saeed Mohammad Barghout.

According to the charge sheet, the girl went with A.M. and his compatriot R. [who was prosecuted before the Juveniles Court] to collect the dog.

"I went to A.M.'s villa to take the dog. They forced me out of the car then into a side room. R. molested me first ... then A.M. molested me," F.F. told prosecutors.

An Emirati police first corporal said A.M. was arrested first. "He admitted that R. lured the schoolgirl while chatting with her over the internet. A.M. claimed she agreed to accompany them to take the dog … he also claimed that she agreed to take the dog in exchange for sex."

But, according to R.'s confession, F.F. was not aware they intended to have sex with her.
