Dubai police drop ‘extra-marital sex’ charges against ‘gang raped’ British woman

A British tourist who was charged with having ‘extra-marital sex’ in Dubai after reporting that she had been gang raped no longer faces legal proceedings. The case against her was dropped.

The 25-year-old from Cheshire had been arrested and had her passport confiscated in October after she claimed she had been raped by two British men in a hotel room. The two male suspects were also arrested, questioned and had their passports confiscated, but no charges were filed against them.

The Dubai Public Prosecutor’s office said it had closed the case after “careful examination of all evidence.” In a statement, it said investigations showed “the act happened with the consent of the three parties in question.”
