MANILA, Philippines - A woman claimed that her boyfriend, an Arab national, sexually abused her in Manila on Tuesday.

The victim, whose identity has been withheld, said in a radio report that she and Mustafa Alsafi have dated several times after they were introduced by a woman in a Manila restaurant.

She said that she met with Alsafi in a bar last Tuesday when he forcefully grabbed her arms.

"Sabi ko, 'I dont want. If you want, you can get girls outside.' Ayoko na nagkakasakitan na kami eh, umiiyak na ako," the victim said.

The victim suspected that the woman introduced her to the foreigner for a fee.

After the assault, Alsafi even offered to buy her drinks in a bar, the victim said.

The victim also claimed that the Saudi Arabian embassy has paid the police P150,000 to clear Alsafi. - Camille Diola
