ABU DHABI // Prosecutors claim a woman who accused a taxi driver of rape is merely a prostitute angry at not being paid.
The woman, from Indonesia, accused the Pakistani taxi driver of rape after he refused to pay her following intercourse, they claim.
Prosecutor Ayman Hanafi said forensics reports showed that there were no signs that the woman put up any resistance.
The case is being referred to the Criminal Court.

Dr Amal Khalid Alias revealed a recent case of a woman with daughters, who specifically wanted a boy.
A semen analysis of the father showed abnormal sperm so the couple required IVF.
Out of 21 eggs collected, six were unused leaving 15 suitable for IVF.
A specific procedure was used, called intracytoplasmic sperm injection where a single sperm cell is inserted into the egg.
On day three of the process, 14 embryos were biopsied for gender selection.
The next day, a pre-implantation genetic report revealed four normal male embryos, three female and seven abnormal samples.
Day five of the treatment saw two male embryos transferred to the patient.
The woman recorded a positive pregnancy test two weeks later.
