Dubai: A Pakistani worker has been accused of kidnapping a Filipina saleswoman, making her watch a porno movie before raping her under coercion in a warehouse.

His 22-year-old compatriot has also been accused of contributing in the kidnap and raping the 44-year-old saleswoman.

Prosecutors charged the two Pakistani workers, 25-year-old K.S. and 22-year-old I.K., with kidnapping with deception 44-year-old M.K., threatening to kill her and raping her.

The two defendants pleaded not guilty and firmly refuted their charges when they appeared before the Dubai Court of first Instance yesterday.

"That's not true. I am not guilty. I did not rape her," argued I.K. when he defended himself before Presiding Judge Mohammad Majid Mohammad.

K.S. denied his charges saying: "No. I didn't do it."

According to the charges sheet, prosecutors said K.S. asked M.K. out for dinner at a restaurant on Shaikh Zayed Road (SZR). Then he drove her towards the warehouse where I.K. worked in Jebel Ali. The defendants threatened to kill the Filipina before they had sex with her against her will one at a time.

Prosecution records said the suspects carried out their alleged crime in one of the warehouse's side rooms in a poorly lit place that is two kilometers away from the main highway.

The Filipina testified that she got acquainted to K.S. one day while she was walking home in Al Mutainah.

"He asked to become my friend and I gave him my contact number. Three days later he asked for dinner. He picked me up and claimed that we would dine in Al Ghurair Centre. However he drove towards my work at SZR. He refused to drop me and continued driving till Jebel Ali. He parked in an unlit place behind Ibn Battuta Mall. He forced to go down with him into a parking and then we entered a small room. He switched on the DVD, played a sex movie then undressed and asked me to take off my clothes as well because he wanted to sleep with me. He threatened to kill me when I refused… then I was forced to sleep with him afraid of getting killed. Suddenly I.K. walked into the room through the door which was improperly closed," M.K. claimed to prosecutors.

K.S. left the room, according to prosecution records, and then I.K. walked in and forced the saleswoman to have sex with him under threat and coercion.

An Emirati corporal testified that the defendants admitted having consensual sex with M.K. but quarreled with her over the fees.

Presiding Judge Mohammad adjourned the case until June 9.
