Robbery victim jailed for illicit sex

dubai — A 29-year-old Pakistani vendor, who got robbed of Dh47,100, has been sentenced to six months in jail on the charge of having illicit sex.

Public prosecution records show he got robbed by a 27-yearold Ugandan prostitute while he was having sex with her countrywoman, also aged 27. The sex worker took advantage as he was busy and stole the money from his shirt. The Court of First Instance ordered the vendor be deported after serving his jail term.

The two women have already been deported after being found guilty of working in prostitution. The stolen money belonged to the man’s workplace.

The vendor said during investigation that his boss told him to transfer a sum of money to Pakistan at a money exchange office in Iyal Nasser in the Naif area on March 8, 2016.

“I parked my car and was walking to the office when I spotted a woman on the street. She winked at me.” He said that he knew she was a prostitute and agreed to have sex. “She charged me Dh30 and then settled for Dh20.”

Upon her request, he went to her flat which was in the same building where she was waiting.

“I paid her Dh15 and left. But on the street, I checked my pocket and did not find the money given by my boss.”

At first, he thought that he must have dropped the money when he took off his clothes. “I went back to that flat and saw the door open. No one was there. I looked for the money in vain.”

He realised that he was robbed of the cash by the other woman who was there. After this, he complained at the Naif police station.
