Islamic teacher gets 5 months for raping student

A Dubai court has sentenced a Pakistani religious teacher to five years in jail for repeatedly raping a 11-boy he was teaching. The 23-year-old man identified as ZB was found guilty by the Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance for raping the boy over a period of seven months during which he was assigned to give him Quran lessons, The National reported. The boy had earlier told prosecutors that the man would come home to teach him Quran five days a week since February 2009. Intimidated by the man, the boy was unable to speak out to anyone about his ordeal, prosecutors were told. His mother however said she began to notice changes in the boy’s demeanour after the classes started. He revealed everything when she cajoled him to speak the truth.
She then lodged a complaint with the police on January 01 after which ZB was taken for questioning at the Jebel Ali police station.
