british man who had sex on dubai beach was re-arrested

[Amby 490]

A British man convicted of having sex on a Dubai beach has been re-arrested as he was about board a flight to the UK, his lawyer has said.

Vince Acors, 34, of Bromley, London, was detained at Dubai Airport and returned to jail.

His lawyer Andrew Crossley said Acors's flight confirmation was allegedly "not in order".

Acors and Michelle Palmer, 36, of Oakham, Rutland, were given suspended jail sentences.

Acors had been due to return on Friday but a delay in the deportation process meant he was unable to board a Heathrow-bound plane and spent the weekend in jail.

Mr Crossley said: "The return of Vince Acors has been delayed yet again and he will not be returning to the UK tomorrow [Tuesday].

"The situation is close to becoming farcical and Vince is severely disappointed.

"After having booked and confirmed his return flight on three separate occasions through the course of the day Vince was re-arrested at Dubai Airport, as his flight confirmation was allegedly not in order.

"He has been returned to jail, his precise return is now unknown."

Palmer and Acors were arrested on the Jumeirah Beach on 5 July, hours after meeting at a champagne brunch.

They were found guilty of unmarried sex and public indecency at Dubai's Court of First Instance in October. Both were fined £170 and sentenced to three months in prison. They admitted a charge of being drunk in a public place.

Avoid Dubai. It's nothing special..... I've been there.

Typical Muslim Arab islamic justice, a sham and a joke, nothing but a bunch of dishonest corrupt dictators sitting on oil and gas wells playing bigshot. Luckystrike is right Dubai is nothing but a made up spot in the sand and nasty smelling ocean there.

One could avoid these sort of situations if they just follow the laws of the lands they visit. Big D'oh!

I agree, he should have avoided that place and never went there in first place screwing around, literally.

Mononoke.... it's still the ME and ME rules and customs apply (albeit somewhat less strictly than in, say, Saudi).

[zqt3344 21]

Nope, think about it, you cannot even screw there! It is against their screwed up islamic muslim law, I am telling you it is not like anything you will have ever seen if you are from the West with normal law and rules, it is a mess. Dictatorship deluxe. They use that religion to control the masses and place fear in them.

you are still allowed to screw there, it's just you can't be out in the open about it.

you can screw, but you have to pretend that you don't screw... i agree this can be problematic!

And with all that loose, flowing clothes... it is easy to hide it.

Is it legal for a woman to sit on a mans lap in public?
