A man who tested positive for AIDS, Hepatitis C and syphilis has been cleared of raping a woman and threatening to kill her.
Dubai Criminal Court on Sunday acquitted an Emirati man, 40, of raping a Moroccan woman, 24, for lack of evidence.
The woman had claimed the man followed her from a nightclub in Al Baraha on May 13 last year after she refused a lift from him.
She said he forced his way into her home in Al Nahda and sexually assaulted her before she managed to lock herself into another room to call a friend for help.
Police arrested the man and sent the pair in for medical testing to check for evidence of rape. The results of the tests revealed the man had Aids, Hepatitis C and syphilis but did not show unequivocal evidence that he raped her.
At court in August, the accused denied the charges, saying he would be unable to carry out those crimes because of his poor health.
The man was cleared of both charges on Sunday.

Ki-Jana Hoever
The only one of this squad to have scored for Liverpool, the versatile Dutchman impressed on his debut at Wolves in January. He can play right-back, centre-back or in midfield.
Herbie Kane
Not the most prominent H Kane in English football but a 21-year-old Bristolian who had a fine season on loan at Doncaster last year. He is an all-action midfielder.
Luis Longstaff
Signed from Newcastle but no relation to United’s brothers Sean and Matty, Luis is a winger. An England Under-16 international, he helped Liverpool win the FA Youth Cup last season.
Yasser Larouci
An 18-year-old Algerian-born winger who can also play as a left-back, Larouci did well on Liverpool’s pre-season tour until an awful tackle by a Sevilla player injured him.
Adam Lewis
Steven Gerrard is a fan of his fellow Scouser, who has been on Liverpool’s books since he was in the Under-6s, Lewis was a midfielder, but has been converted into a left-back.
