12-Year-Old Boy Jailed For Impregnating 28- Year-Old Housemaid

A 12-year-old boy accused of having consensual sex
with his family's housemaid and impregnating her
has been acquitted.
The Emirati schoolboy and the 28-year-old Ethiopian
maid were said to have indulged in two sexual
encounters at his family's home in Ajman, one of the
seven United Arab Emirates, in June.
Prosecutors accused the pair of having sex outside of
marriage.
The dalliances, they said, resulted in the maid falling
pregnant. Medical reports confirmed the 28-year-old
is due to give birth in February.
The boy has been acquitted in the Appeal Court, after
the Ajman Court of First Instance condemned him
and the Ethiopian maid each to six months behind
bars.
In line with the original judgement, the maid will be
deported once she has served her stint in jail.
Defence lawyer Eisa Bin Haider, hired by the Emirati
family to defend their son, said the story had been
fabricated by the maid, who was involved in a sexual
affair with a third party.
He said his young client was tried as an adult when
he should have been considered a juvenile by the
courts.
Mr Bin Haider said the court made the modification
without notifying the family and as such the 12-year-
old was not able to defend himself.
Records revealed the first sexual encounter
happened in April when the boy walked into his
niece's room where the maid was caring for the
children.
The boy was accused of removing the maid's clothes
before having sex with her.
The second tryst was said to have taken place in the
boy's bedroom.
The family rushed their maid to hospital on June 28,
when they discovered she was carrying a child.
Mr Bin Haider told the Appeal Court claims that the
boy had made a reservation in a Ajman hotel and had
sex with the maid there were 'impossible' and
'illegal'.
He said: 'Obviously the Ethiopian maid was involved
in a sexual affair with a third party... because she had
disputes with the brother of my client, she alleged
that the 12-year-old impregnated her.
'My client did not commit the crime, he denied
having sex or being the baby's father. 'She (the
maid) fabricated this case to blackmail the family in
order not to deport her.'
