Dubai - A 49-year-old unemployed man faced charges on Thursday for allegedly molesting a 3-year-old boy on the beach.

The Sri Lankan is believed to have inadvertently approached the boy as he was playing on the beach and kissed him inappropriately on the lips.

The boy’s nanny, who witnessed the incident, reported it to the police and describing the accused as being under the influence of alcohol.

He has been charged with molestation in the Court of First Instance. The incident allegedly happened on April 1.

The Filipina nanny, 40, said in the public prosecution investigation that she was with the boy around 6:20 pm on Jumeirah beach when the defendant approached them.

“He began talking to the boy asking how he was doing and telling him to get closer to him. He smelled like alcohol,” she told the prosecutor.

The nanny said that she was surprised by the man kissing the boy on the lips.

“When I asked him about the reason behind what he did, he insulted me. He also told me it was none of my business and that I was only the boy’s nanny.

She called the police adding that the way the defendant kissed the little boy was inappropriate.

Another Filipina housemaid, 48, said that she was with the nanny and the boy at the time of the incident. She confirmed having seen the defendant sitting on his knees in front of the boy, who was then playing, kissing him and then giving him a rose.

A police sergeant quoted the accused as admitting to have kissed the kid. “He claimed the kiss was spontaneous and did not mean anything”.

A verdict will be pronounced on July 9. (khaleejtimes)

Crazy wordl, poor man may be missing his kid

He should have kissed the nanny instead. It probably would have been welcomed and he may not be facing police prosecution. After all in Middle East you do with what is available, but selecting a three year old kid is immoral.

Do with what is available? Whi is this idiot who posted this comment? Son of a biscuit?

As per Mason,s comment - I would say -"as selections or chances not being available for the Filip-i-no, she wishes to to put the man in trouble" .
