An electrician has been sentenced to six months in prison by a Dubai Court for groping a five-year old.

The 33-year-old Indian inappropriately touched and filmed the boy in his family villa, while the boy's parent were away.

The defendant initially denied the charges, but he was found guilty and will be deported after completing his jail time.

The case was reported at the Bur Dubai Police station.

The ruling is open for an appeal within 15 days from the issuance date.
