Dubai: A victim of a rape case involving three men, has told the Dubai Criminal Court that the tight jeans her friend was wearing saved her, but she was subjected to a sexual attack, local media reported Saturday.
The two woman, SS, 22, an Iranian and her compatriot MA, were walking towards the Jumeirah open beach at around 3am on February 2, according to Emirates247.com.
“A car with tinted glass stopped next to us and three men were in it. Two men, aged between 20 and 25, got off and one of them showed us a Police ID and claimed to be CID.
“One of the men asked us to present our IDs and we showed out our Iranian ID cards.
“However, he claimed that we were drunk and had to accompany them to the police station.
“When we refrained, the third man got off the car and assisted his friends in pushing us into the car, assuring us that they were policemen and we had to listen to them.
“One of the men punched us in our faces and our noses began to bleed,” SS told the court.
One of the men, who later proved to be MR, 20, an Emirati student, asked one of the women MA to have sex with him in the car and threatened her with a can of pepper spray.
“Since my friend was wearing tight jeans he could not pull them off. So he turned to me and since I was wearing a skirt he forced himself on me,” SS told investigators.
The other two men were later identified as MH, 23, a jobless Comoros national and RK, 23, a policeman.
“My rapist had beaten me up. He then opened my bag and stole Dh500,” SS said, adding that they kept driving in rotation until 8am when they stopped near a bakery where they allowed the girls to get out of the car.
