A UAE expat has been jailed for kidnapping and raping his employee.
The Ajman Criminal Court sentenced a 43-year-old Asian - identified as M.S.S - to three years imprisonment followed by deportation for kidnapping and raping his secretary.
The 23-year-old woman told the public prosecution that someone had informed her about a job opening in UAE while in her home country.
The accused was looking for a secretary to work in his UAE-based company - offering a very attractive salary package.
Convinced by the lucrative offer, she agreed to send her personal photograph, a copy of her passport to the accused who managed to get her a residency visa as secretary as well as sending her an air ticket.
She added that on reaching UAE, the 43-year-old expat personally picked her up from the airport and took her to a far off place in Ajman - where he raped her in an apartment.
According to the police record, the woman said that the man had asked her to stay in his room while he arranged accommodation for her. After three days, he served her juice - laced with alcohol - which he forced her to drink.
The record added that he raped her after she had passed out.
She escaped the apartment and reported the incident at the nearest police station.
