The woman, then engaged and now married, said she dozed off as they watched a film and woke to find Dhariwal touching her intimately.

The jury heard Dhariwal allegedly raped a second colleague at his Singapore hotel room in March, 2020.
She woke naked in his bed, she said, confused at how she got there and what had happened.
When she confronted him on Facebook, Dhariwal, was said to have replied: 'You didn't say no in bed, hun.'

Woman sexually assaulted on London flight while she slept
Woman sexually assaulted on London flight while she slept It happened on a flight to the UK from Qatar The incident happened on a Qatar Airways flight (Image: NurPhoto, NurPhoto via Getty Images) A woman who was sexually assaulted on a flight to London is challenging Government rules that disqualify her from a compensation scheme. She was attacked while sleeping on a Qatar Airways flight from Doha, Qatar, to Gatwick, West Sussex, in September last year. The perpetrator was arrested on arrival at Gatwick and jailed in May. The woman, who has maintained her anonymity and is referred to as Kelly, has been denied a payout through the Criminal Injuries Compensation (CIC) Scheme. This is because the incident happened on a plane that was not registered in Britain. Law firm Leigh Day, which is representing Kelly, has written to Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, urging her to close what it believes is a gap in the law. Kelly, who is in her 20s and from London, said: 'I do not understand why I, and other victims like me, have been excluded from the CIC Scheme. I was attacked on a flight en route to the UK, I am a UK citizen, and this crime was investigated and prosecuted by British authorities. 'I should be entitled to compensation, and being excluded from the scheme is unfair and illogical. I am still suffering with the effects of the attack and want to move forward with my life.' Article continues below The Civil Aviation Act was updated in 1996 to ensure criminal acts on foreign planes bound for the UK can be prosecuted in UK criminal courts. Leigh Day solicitor Claire Powell said: 'Our client suffered a horrific sexual attack on a UK-bound flight. She was refused compensation under the Criminal Injuries Compensation scheme simply because it was a foreign flight and the rules have not been amended in line with the updates to the Civil Aviation Act. 'It is a gap that needs closing urgently and we trust the Justice Secretary will agree, particularly in light of this Government's commitment to addressing violence against women and girls.' Article continues below A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: 'Our thoughts remain with this victim, and we remain resolute in our mission to halve violence against women and girls in a decade. The rules that the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority follows, and the values of payments for injuries, are set by Parliament. Other routes are available for victims to receive support.' Kelly was attacked by Momade Jussab, of Swinfield Close, Feltham, who was sitting next to her and put his hands down her trousers. He was 66 when he was handed a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence at Lewes Crown Court in May after being found guilty of one count of sexual assault by penetration and two counts of sexual assault.

Woman who made baby vape in clip apologizes with pathetic excuse
An influencer has admitted to forcing a little boy she was babysitting to smoke a vape after the shocking video she filmed resurfaced online. Fiona Jordan, 23, was slammed after a clip of a young child vaping in her care was posted on social media. In the footage, the unnamed boy was seen putting his mouth on the device, held out to him by another person. He exhaled and smoke drifted from his mouth, causing the girls, including Jordan, to laugh as the child coughed and looked confused. Hours after Daily Mail reached out for comment, Jordan admitted her involvement, saying she was 15 at the time and now takes full responsibility. She told her followers: 'I was not in the right state of mind. As a young girl, I was making a lot of reckless choices, and honestly, I made a terrible decision. 'Recording it and being there makes me just as guilty, and I take full responsibility for this. I am truly, deeply sorry for the pain that I have caused that family, now and then. 'I can't change what I did, but I can acknowledge how wrong it was.' Responsibility: Hours after being contacted by Daily Mail for comment, Jordan admitted her involvement in the scandal in an apology video - taking 'full responsibility' for her actions Jordan said she was not in the correct headspace as her mother had recently died, and she was hanging around with the wrong crowd of people. The original video, filmed eight years ago, was uploaded to Instagram. She faced criticism after the video resurfaced online, with one person writing: 'Psychotic behavior. Truly awful to see that poor baby and hear them laughing. Pure evil.' Another added: 'The way he looks sad and coughs after, wow they are monsters.' A third said: 'Disturbing she thinks child abuse is FUNNY... an absolutely vile individual.'
