Followup: Dubai and rape
The boy's mother, Veronique Robert, said her son ``cried a little'' but was ``very strong'' as he testified for 90 minutes in a session closed to the public at the defense's request.
Robert has said that her son accused a police forensic doctor of calling the boy a homosexual while examining him after the assaults, implying the incident was consensual. She also said her son had left the country in early October because French diplomats told her that he might be prosecuted for homosexual acts, a crime here.
When the case came to light, Robert also accused Emirati authorities of lying about the HIV status of the 35-year-old defendant to cover up the fact that AIDS exists in Dubai.
