Teacher kills herself over nude photos in UAE
Teacher killed herself 'after ex-boyfriend posted naked pictures of her on Facebook'
By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 3:13 AM on 25th February 2010
A teacher who died after drinking poison was living in fear because her ex-boyfriend had posted 'indecent' pictures of her on the internet, her mother claimed yesterday.
Emma Jones, 24, was working in an international school in Abu Dhabi - and was afraid she could be jailed over the images.
She had begun to pack her things ready to return to Britain but drank corrosive cleaning fluid and her body was found by a flatmate, an inquest heard.

Open verdict: Emma Jones, 24, killed herself while working in Abu Dhabi
Her mother Louise Rowlands said Miss Jones was distressed after former boyfriend Jamie Brayley posted pictures of her on Facebook.
'He put a memory stick in the computer and copied some indecent images of Emma,' said Mrs Rowlands, 41, from Caerphilly, South Wales.
'He put them on her Facebook and she said she was accused of prostitution by a man working at the school.'
Miss Jones, a graduate of Greenwich University in London, had worked at the International School of Choueifat in Khalifa City since 2008, teaching eight-year-olds.
The inquest heard that a man called George working in the IT department had seen the pictures - and she feared he would report it to the authorities.
'Emma and George didn't get on at all,' added Mrs Rowlands. 'She said she had to get away.'

Miss Jones was said to have told her mother and flatmates that she feared she would be jailed by Abu Dhabi's strict Muslim regime.
'She was crying, she was breaking her heart,' said Mrs Rowlands, a full-time carer. 'I said, "Emma, whatever it is can't be that bad. Just come home".'
But Miss Jones told her mother: 'I can't leave the country, they will throw me in jail.'
Her flatmate Mona Moshki, an Iranian teacher, found Miss Jones's body. Her passport was in her jeans pocket and her clothes were on her bed ready for packing.
Jamie Brayley: Miss Jones's ex-boyfriend denied posting naked pictures of her on the internet
Miss Jones's ex-boyfriend described her mother's claims as 'complete fantasy'.
Mr Brayley, who is in his early 30s, admitted he had used Miss Jones's computer but denied he had ever downloaded private photographs of her.
'Emma never sent me any indecent images,' he said. 'She wasn't that type of character.'
The inquest in Cardiff heard that Abu Dhabi police suspected suicide and ruled out crime.
Pathologist Dr Thomas Hockey performed a postmortem examination at Llandough Hospital, near Cardiff, which confirmed that Miss Jones had drunk a corrosive substance.
Coroner Thomas Atherton said he did not believe Mr Brayley was to blame for the tragedy.
He said he could not be sure that Miss Jones had meant to kill herself and recorded an open verdict.
He said she might have accidentally drunk cleaning fluid from an unlabelled container, mistakenly believing it was water.
'For whatever reason, Emma expressed concern that she was about to be arrested and put in prison.
'She agreed the best course of action was to leave Abu Dhabi and return to Britain. Her clothes were out and her passport was in her pocket.
'That's not someone who is contemplating suicide.'

Agree with deepb 100%
It depends on the situation, if a student parents complain to the police that a teacher in their child’s school have gave a nude photo of her to their child then she might be jailed and lashed for life, if it was a man, he would be killed…
But in this case her photos was just on FB and posted by her bf….i don’t see how law would have to do any thing in this matter.
Im gonna ask you the same question deepb asked you
Show any similar case where a female was lashed for it?
You cant just assume facts!!!
So these rumors must not make us afraid.
I don't think the law will be that blind. Is it not important that who put those photos there? And what about the authenticity? Anyone can be morphed these days, so whats the big deal? the law would have saved her if she was innocent. Don't blame the law, blame the culture instead, Olive
The issue isn't whether they would have or not deepb, the issue is that the law is there and she was obviously scared that they would do it.

...listen to the sound of silence....
I'm not a legal expert, but I really don't think in any such cases the women would end up being lashed or prosecuted. I haven't heard of a single such case till date. At most I would expect her to get terminated from her workplace, but then that would be a business decision, as the majority of the parents would be objecting her to continue teaching.

Why would they lash you for it Olive? Show me one similar case where a female was lashed for it?
FB some times ruins people life and a big percentage of betrayd between couples was found in Egypt and that is why the Egyptian schoolar prohobitted the use of face book.
No need to comment on this, I put it just as information.
See some schoolars prohobitted TV and these are very restrict, TV is like any book that you can pick, and you can pick either the good book or the bad book.
No I'd be totally embarrassed to see that stuff on Facebook. But if it happened I hope I wouldn't be in a place where they might lash me for it to!
"We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect." Ambrose Bierce
Olive, i agree, the "killing" laws of this particular country play crucial role in this particular case.. but let alone the place of tragedy...would it be easier for you to see your nude pics on FB in any other country? Or to find on FB some compromising information about yourself, even if it's fake?
this is my point.. yes FB helps to connect friends.. but sometimes it ruins the life, no matter where on the globe you are..

So it is Emas mistake because if she did not take nude photos for her this would never had happened.
FB ?
The laws of the land don't have anything to do with her suicide. I highly doubt if you will be able to find a single case where a girl was prosecuted by the government in the middle eastern countries as a result of her obscene pictures being posted on the net by someone else, let alone the UAE.
First of all, Why people allow to take their nude pics or mms
Even if its acase of boyfrien or girlfriend
---------------------------------------------------------
MY NAME IS KHAN &
IAM NOT A TERRORIST
thank GOD i dont use FB..i never used ...
The story seems to be incomplete giving rise to many questions like:
Why would anyone contemplating suicide pack her bags with passport in her pocket?
People in UAE do not need exit permit to leave country like in Qatar, so why was she unable to leave? It definitely wasnot due to those photos as authorities would stop her only if that matter had already been reported to authorities.
Check news papers of UAE, there are many cases where the boy was punished for blackmailing girls with their indecent pictures, no punishment for girls just for photos.
Have you lived in this region long dashwoot?

Ah Olive...as I said you twisted my statement of being safe here to not being safe for women for the reasons you mentioned....lol
I am though sorry to hear all that you went through here...but then that was not the point I was driving at... its safe in the sense that I can drive from Abu Dhabi to Dubai or Fujairah in the dead of the night without being bothered that I may be robbed off (In India I wouldnt even attempt driving alone on highways), can leave my car anywhere alongside the road and go out of country and will find it intact on return except for some dust on it...:)

The law of the country has nothing to do in this case. Why would they put her in jail and lash her just because some indecent photo's of her where found on the net…the police has nothing to do in this matter…
similar incidents happen in many other countries for teachers too, she would just get fired
its only fear culture' where she worked... and it just got to her.
Its more to do with the shame associated with such publicity rather than the fear of being jailed.
And I think that is worst than being jailed or lashed
they were really dare devils :-)

I didn't say rape didn't happen in Canada Dot.Com, I just said I feel safer then here. I was never attacked in Canada in my 24 years of living there, here I've been attacked twice in less then 4 years.

It isn't hitting on me either. It's harrassment & attacks. I can handle being hit on, I can handle being stared at, I can even handle being asked how much I cost (which has happened in other parts of the world) what I can't handle is a cab driver trying to get in the back seat with me or a man with his penis in his hands trying to get into my car and the only things the cops can say is "if you aren't married how did you know what a penis looked like"

Olive the generalisation in my part of the world is that Western women have low moral standards so maybe that's why people from my part of the world tried hitting on you..
I know it's not true but that's the generalisation...

Ummm no.

please answer me honestly if you will, if not it is still ok not to answer.
I'm not talking about staring Smoke.

maybe yes....the thought of protective and powerful muscles when they see a commitment ring on a woman's finger is surefire turn-off.no kidding but i've actually seen men staring at me and then suddenly at my wedding ring and turning away their faces.nuts!
I think there might also be something in the wedding ring. I've received a lot less now that I'm wearing an engagement ring.

i dunno....i can ONLY speak for myself.guess there is also the case of racist prejudice.people seem to think that westerners and philippinos will take it easy (which i know is unfair and i have had many women from these countries complaining about it) while the arabs and the south asians will create a hue and cry about it.it's downright unfair.
Really Svelte? I've been physically assaulted in BROAD daylight in a parking lot here. I've been harrassed way more then I ever was back in Canada. This place is not safe for a woman to go out unattended anywhere.

Never loose hope
Anyone who wants to kill him/her self for any reason except defending your country or family does not deserve to live.
So what if she went to the Jail, the embassy of her country will interfere and settle the problem down.
If she is innocent she will will be released from jail, in my opinion Ms. Emma did not have strong faith, because if she had strong faith, then she will no that jail is not the end of life.
She might have stayed in Jail for some time and then she will deported to her country and she can start new life.
Believing in faith and that truth will always appear like a sun gives you a hope, hope is life, no hope means no life, if there is life then there is always hope.
i grew up in the middle east and i can't really say that this place is 'unsafe'....it takes care of women a lot but a lot depends on your lifestyle too.i can confidently go out at 10 in the night in Doha and need not fear of being mobbed or abused.but i can say for sure that i do not enjoy that freedom back home.there,a woman walking on the streets at 10 in the night is just inviting trouble or she is considered as 'loose'.just a personal opinion.
Well.....I suppose she felt really lonely, and hence took this drastic action. No need for that really at all.
I think she was naive and may I say a bit stupid. The report says he (the boy friend) copied indicent photos of her from her computer. What does that mean? Indicent because she was wearing say just bikini for example or just nude?
If she was nude, what the hell it was doing on her PC in the first place?
lol sugardady I am a good boy now, I respect the laws :)
Though I did get into trouble a couple of times in Dubai but not any more :)
"Live with passion, Die with style"
Because my family is here and in general I like it here. I'm a big girl who can take care of herself. Safety is not my primary reason for being anywhere.
"We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect." Ambrose Bierce
Sugadaddy.....why should i be mad at you for your opinions..lol
I don't really see much difference than back home in terms of safety.. It's pretty much the same..
Only difference is that in India we avoided going to the cops because we knew we would have to give out money as bribe, here I avoid them because I don't know how they will react and maybe I will end up getting the blame.
"Live with passion, Die with style"
Then how come you are continuing to live in such an unsafe place???
I've been lots of place happy. Safety is not my primary reason for moving to a place. But if I have to say it, for a woman, this is the most unsafe place I've been.
"We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect." Ambrose Bierce
That means its not safe for a women...but you are a women (I presume so just based on your this comment) and you are here too....:) anyways you conveniently twisted it to suit your arguement understanding fully well what I meant by safety here.

No. It was with reference to your statement

not related to her anyway...

The answer to that would be money QatariGentel, not law. When Muslim immigrants go to the UK THAN it's because of they want better laws.

Olive it is mainly the British escapades that get published. Be they in UAE or Portugal or wherever.
Why is that?
Olive, none of us knows WHY she killed herself. A person who commits suicide has serious mental/emotional problems. It's awfully simplistic to blame her suicide on the laws of the UAE.

Yep i suppose she was all ready to go, bags packed and passport in the back pocket when she accidentally tripped and "drank corrosive cleaning fluid" :p People should be more careful about these things.

_[]~«ŠѪΘҜΞ»~[]_
I don't think you can drink poison by mistake so I am sceptical about the cause of death too.
"Live with passion, Die with style"
More than all this it could have been a genuine mistake as is mentioned in the last statement:
"'She agreed the best course of action was to leave Abu Dhabi and return to Britain. Her clothes were out and her passport was in her pocket.
'That's not someone who is contemplating suicide.'
Thats why I say there is more to it than what the paper reports.
Sugardady I agree they are something to talk about.. One of these days I will post something like this before her :P
As for the case.. They can make the authorities a bit more approachable, I personally will try to avoid involving the law in anything that happens with me here and there are a number of people who feel the same... There is a fear of the law which needs to be eradicated.
"Live with passion, Die with style"
Fine Uk is the best, I wonder why more than 300,000 British live in UAE then…. If the law is good enough..then you wont need to work abroad…
Well there is the issue in the rest of the article on whether she DID in fact kill herself or if it was an accident. The police aren't looking more into the matter, but I wonder too, because it looked like she was ready to leave.
FU, in her case if she did kill herself it WAS cause of fear of jail & lashes. So she did fear the law of the land.
Happy, because with Westerners it's publisized, with others it's kept quiet and dealt with by the family.
"We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect." Ambrose Bierce
how one could allow BF to shoot when you are naked?
poor girl and bastard BF, should be put behind bars for inciting suicide and blackmailing......even if get freed by law but Nature takes its own course.
The country didn't kill her.
The laws didn't kill her.
Facebook didn't kill her.
She killed herself. There's a good chance that she's a person who would have done so regardless of where she was living.
There's a whole big internet out there, kids. If you're going to allow someone to take compromising pics of you, it's a good idea to keep in mind that they may end up being circulated on the internet some day.
Condolences to the family, and may she rest in peace.

a lot of girls fear getting photos of themselves on the internet esp thru hacking
many qatari girls have elastoplasts over the video cam on their pc -
Nah i didnt say she should be punished for having nude pics of herself on her personal computer. But fact and the matter is having them there is what got her into trouble in the first place. Killing her self over fear of the law was another bad move. Whats the worst that could have happened? Jail time and Lashes? IF that were to be the case which we'll never know now will we?

Well she's dead QatariGentel, and if she was in the UK she could take him to court and not fear being made the criminal.

Olive's question is trying to get to WHY this girl committed suicide....what made her think that there was no way out.
here is a good link for critical thinking
www.criticalthinking.org.uk/
I did when I first came here, but the more I'm here the more I see it isn't a point of view but a masochistic society that fears change & individual rights (especially those of women)
"We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect." Ambrose Bierce
Olive I always wonder do you have any software to find such stories :P
I went through 3 newspapers before coming to work today and couldn't find anything really controversial from this region except the Hamas Israel issue but that's old news..
How do you do it :P
"Live with passion, Die with style"
Why was she not able to delete those images on her FB account? There is something missing in the story...
Exactly WK. Although in my case, in my time here, I've never seen them take the girls side. Every woman I know who's gone to the police for something (especially single Western women) have been treated like a criminal.
"We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect." Ambrose Bierce
On her personal computer. In her own home. So you agree Smoke that she should be punished for having nude photos of herself?
"We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect." Ambrose Bierce
Olive that was a shocking case but I am saying this based on what I saw during my time in Dubai..
In any dispute between a guy and a girl, they invariably took the girl's side..
But they are highly unpredictable so not too many people want to approach them in the first place.
"Live with passion, Die with style"
Sugardaddy, I'm looking for stories that highlight issues faced in this region, I.e. the one we live in. Either of the things I've posted in the last few days could easily happen here and people need to be aware of that. If you think I'm bad mouthing Muslims fine, but I have lots of Muslim friends who also protest their disgust at these things, so I really don't see how it's Muslim bashing. If you'd like I could start discussing some of the laws in Canada I disagree with, but I doubt I'd get much of a response.
"We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect." Ambrose Bierce
Yet knowing that she's in THIS REGION she kept those photos si?

Yes Smoke, but in every other country outside this region if those pictures or video got out it would only cause embarrassment NOT jail time and corporal punishment.

Yes, a "fear culture" based on the repressive laws of the country.
"We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect." Ambrose Bierce
s_isale does have a point too..all this wouldnt have happened if she didnt have those pics lying around on her pc. Many times people have the urge to do something stupid like video film themselves having sex..and when that gets out whose to blame?

Really WK? Just like the woman raped in the bathroom in Dubai? The law really helped her.
"We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect." Ambrose Bierce
Maybe there was a lot of 'fear culture' where she worked... and it just got to her. Check where she worked.
I get mighty pissed off when people I don't know take pictures at parties of me. Please consider that some people have to be more culturally sensitive than others and please have the common courtesy to establish if someone wants their picture taken and put on facebook.
Nothing wrong with facebook its only a piece of software its the idiots who misuse it.
Olive...I dont have anything to say whether the laws of the country have anything to do or not with this sad incident here because I feel its not the right time or situation to air it.

"Live with passion, Die with style"
It has everything to do with the laws of the country. She could have been jailed & lashed for those photos and she chose to commit suicide rather than face that. Her boyfriend used the laws of the country to his advantage.
"We submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect." Ambrose Bierce
The law had nothing to do with her case, it was a clear personal case..but her mother wanted to take advantage of that…and she referred to the law ? her BF must be punished…. I don’t think that she committed suicide because she was afraid of the law….it was because of her BF…
Anyway, it's sad to say that was happened.
What has this to do with FB?
This has more to do with the personal photos in her own pc.
This also has nothing to do with the laws of the country either. Its more of a problem of people not having the urge to control their senses and then regretting it later which sometimes lead to such tragic situations...
Just the other day one school student had committed suicide in India because a photo of her kissing her boyfriend was circulated through mobile phones..

I think the girl was foolish to end her life. She took the cowards way out. Being educated she made her self out to be a fool. I mean come on is a human's life become so cheap? Whoever put up those pics are at fault and if it is her ex bf then he should be stoned to death for resorting to such a low life action. People get together and break up big deal...move the Eff on.
Good Fortune always comes knocking at your door...when you are sh*tting in the toilet!! :)

May her soul RIP.
Aside...interesting statement:
"I don't know who's more at fault, the boyfriend, or the country with laws that would allow the victim to be punished"...
Some people can find means to further their agenda of looking down upon or carryon with their bashing even in the death of a person!!!

But sad to see how she ended her life.
Her boyfriend should be put on trial (if he has posted her pics).
...a year back but never got hooked on to it like I'am to QL...It's too open for me.

It's bad enough that he did that, it's worse that he took advantage of the laws of the country to torture her. I don't know who's more at fault, the boyfriend, or the country with laws that would allow the victim to be punished.

thought i'd put in my two cents here.
a friend of mine told me the other day that one of his classmates had a crush on one of his older cousin and when she rejected him and his repeated proposals to date,he hacked into my friend's facebook account and sent her obscene pics and abusive messages and even morphed pics of her on bodies of nude women from that account.the thoroughly shaken girl called up my friend (thankfully!) and asked what's going on.to say my friend was shell-shocked would be an understatement.he was literally in tears and apologised profusely.he looked up to her like an older sister and he was verily shattered.there was no proof that it was this particular loser who has done the deed and he still talks very normally to my friend.now my friend is planning of issuing an official disclaimer on his facebook page saying that his account has been hacked and if anybody received any message from him that they know he will possibly never send,they may very well consider it was not him.
such things happen.all social networking sites repeatedly ask its users to change their passwords every now and then.....like they say,better be safe than sorry.
however,if the ex-BF in this case really did that to her,he's extremely cheap and deserves punishment.my condolences to Emma's family.RIP.
:(
a beautiful life.
