A 12-year-old boy accused of having consensual s-ex 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 se-xual encounters at his family's home in Ajman, one of the seven United Arab Emirates, in June.
Prosecutors accused the pair of having s-ex 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.
