Jail for man who had sex with 300 clients

dubai — A 29-year-old man, who admitted to the police officers that he had sex with 300 ‘clients’, was sentenced to three years in jail on account of prostitution and immoral acts. The court ordered his deportation after serving his prison term and paying a Dh250,000 fine.

The Moroccan earlier admitted in the Court of First Instance to charges of prostitution and inciting others through different social media accounts to have sex with him by posting pictures of nude women and cross-dressers.

The accused also confessed he opened several social media accounts to incite men into having sex with him. “While checking different accounts on social media, we came across an ad posted by a 25-year-old Moroccan. He was offering his services in massage, hair removal and cleaning at home or hotel. He posted his mobile number for WhatsApp messenger. There were inappropriate pictures of women and cross-dressers all over his account. His ad invited many replies,” a cyber-crime police lieutenant said.

After further digging into his profiles, the police found he was offering his sexual services for money. “We had arranged for an arrest and search warrant from public prosecution. One of our officers made contact with him as a potential customer,” the lieutenant added.

The arrest was made on December 13, last year. A lipstick, eyeliner and a phone, which he used to promote his work, were seized from him. A complaint was opened against him at Al Rashidiya police station. The accused admitted to the police officers that he was working as a male prostitute and that he had sex with about 300 men. He would collect between Dh1,000 and Dh1,500.

The copies of posts from the defendant’s accounts were enclosed as part of the case. The court ruling is still subject to appeal.
