Dubai police drop charges against British ‘gang rape victim’
A British holidaymaker who was threatened with jail in Dubai after she told authorities she’d been raped in a hotel room has had all charges against her dropped.
The Dubai Public Prosecutor’s Office said it had closed the case after ‘careful examination of all evidence’.
The 25-year-old woman had initially been charged with having extra-marital sex after she’d told the authorities in Dubai that two British men had raped her after luring her to their hotel room.
Sex outside marriage is illegal in the United Arab Emirates.
The two men allegedly returned to the UK hours after the woman claimed she was attacked, but her family claimed she was unable to leave as her passport was confiscated by police.
The Dubai Public Prosecutor’s Office has since claimed that its investigations showed ‘the act happened with the consent of all the three parties in question’.
