Drunk accused of having sex in Dubai taxi
DUBAI: An Irish man and a 27-year-old British woman are being questioned by prosecutors in Dubai for allegedly having sex in the back of a taxi while they were both drunk, UAE daily Gulf News reported on Thursday.
The Irish man, C.M., claimed the British woman, R.B., was his fiancée. The pair have strongly denied the alleged charges of public indecency, consensual sex and liquor consumption.
"C.M. and R.B. were boozed up when they were reported to a nearby police patrol that they indulged in sexual activity in the taxi's rear seat in an area close to Dubai Marina," Gulf News reported citing a source.
"According to primary police interrogations, the arresting police officer alleged that the woman was not wearing a shirt when he arrested the couple.
"Meanwhile C.M. countered those claims, according to his statement, contending that R.B. is his fiancée and that she was sad when he hugged her only," the report added.
The prosecutor will hear the statements of the driver who reported the incident on May 30
"We are still waiting for forensic reports to prove whether the couple had sex or indulged in any form of sexual activity," the paper quoted a prosecution source as saying.
The suspects were released on bail after being held for five days at the Jebel Ali police station, the report said
Bollocks.
Dubai Code of Conduct -
1.4. Public displays of affection:
Displays of affection among couples - whether married or not - in public places does not fit the local customs and culture. Holding hands for a married couple is tolerated but kissing and petting are considered an offence to public decency.
Public displays of affection, as well as sexual harassment or randomly addressing women in public places is liable to be punished by imprisonment or deportation.
dud.. driver was waiting for his turn when he felt that its going to be very late he informed the police.........LOL
I dont think that last line is correct. What is the source??
Going by the posts elsewhere on QL it apepars they can have sex anywhere whether it is inside, outside, on the roof, below the cab, hanging on the door, in the boot, etc etc etc...:)
If you are caught having sex in public then it is possible that you will be charged with a criminal offence. The law and the punishment evoked as a result of breaking it will largely depend on the circumstances in which you are caught having sex. Whilst it is understandable that people can get carried away in the moment, it is also reasonable that there must be some kind of law protecting people, and particularly children, from witnessing such sexual acts.
There are several possible pieces of law that can be breached by having sex in public: notably The Sexual Offences Act, outraging public decency, and the Public Order Act. Common to all these laws is that is must be witnessed, or have been able to be witnessed, by somebody else. Apart from the obvious fact that it will be difficult to get caught if nobody has seen you having sex, the more pertinent point is that the law in this area is not designed to restrict two people having fun, but to protect people who may not want to witness it; therefore if nobody has witnessed the incident, nobody can have been caused any alarm and there is unlikely to be any punishment
It should be noted that these laws are in relation to England and Wales (with similar provisions in Scotland); if you go abroad, particularly to notoriously religious countries, these kinds of acts can result in far more severe punishments
Wonder....What was the cab driver doing?
I say he could have stopped them from going ahead with their "activity"... lol
If I somehow had sex in a cab(moreso anywhere around the ME), with a jealous man undoubtedly peeking through his rearview mirror, naturally I'll be prepared to face consequences...
A drunk Irishmen, and 27-year-old British woman in the back seat of a cab?
That had to have been the worst sex ever. I bet it barely even qualified as sex. I'd drop the charges if I were the prosecuter
The course of true love never did run smooth..
Now you are being naughty...lol
FathimaH: seeing you use the word sex in your post has made me blush, that doesn't happen often :-)
Wonder....What was the cab driver doing? ...lol
That's why its said alcohol is the mother of all all crimes and i don't understand why the Dubai is so liberal in his Alcohol policies even being a Muslim nation....
And when you give people an all you can drink feast for real cheap, what do you expect will happen?The people were drunk,and obviously thus outta their minds. It's a good thing the drunk couple only had sex in the cab and didn't instead kill someone like say the cabbie!
but the offenders are just What?
Whatever the advertisement or promotions made by Dubai, did it ever promoted such actions?
Precisely the law of NO HARM NO FOUL. No one offended, no one will complain. No one is directly saying you can not do it, but just make sure you won't be caught!
We always say that there is no CLEAR CUT policy, so play SAFE! Why tripped the line of what is acceptable and what is not?
Exactly FathimaH, this is prime example "The Irish Village, a hotel bar where patrons pay £10 a head for an all-you-can-drink brunch event" that's about 60 QAR, so what do you expect?? The UK is now doing their best to stop cheap drinks from being sold cheap to discourage binge drinking, perhaps UAE didn't get the same memo.
I certainly don't support the actions of this couple, but I do know that the method in which certain countries promote themselves can send a very warped message out to people. And then when they are in actuality against those things they seem to be encouraging and/or hinting at, and harshly penalize those who are caught, it just makes them look bad.
nomerci but there is big cultural differences you can never compare Dubai to London or NY , Dubai is in the ME and not in West, so do the policies too differ..
it in the west?
are you talking to me? Or to yourself?
Is that normal to you labelling people you don't like? Good, I still respect you as a woman!
Mine if only on views, if you don't like it, it's your problem, not mine!
As they do in the West....but they don't get deported for it.
CL couples also get arrested in UAE for indecent behaviour in car..
Flor...stick with a maze.
that you kept answering and making personal tirade!
Yah, I figured you won't get it...:P
"intelligent" one, Nomerci? Tsk tsk tsk!
Flor sure. I am defending sex on the beach, in the taxi...heck, why not in the village square.:P
Man, you are the Grand Pooba of all morons.
It was a corn maze Brit ;p
whooaa.. good, that i have my own car.. :P
Are not the hedges prickly ??
If you want to do something WRONG, be sure NOT to be CAUGHT! They have a word for it, S....d.
Ratan...if you have to ask, you are not to know.
I think I had sex in a maze once....
The Daily Mail says, it's a "strict Islamic state." Where the hell did they get this idea from?
What is meant by 'having sex' ?
I think it's fair to say, no-one is condoning having sex in the back of a cab. It's the "going to prison for however long and being deported" which we are disagreeing with. It's bad enough it's in the media for all and sundry to see.
Yuo are a maze? Hmmmmmm......
I am amaze by the defense panel!
So the insinuation is, if you can pay or afford the fine, DO IT!
Brit, another mystery never to be solved...:P
The best part of Dubai or UAE is that alcohol is available freely, can get drunk until in trouble with the system. As per the law you are supposed to consume alcohol with permit only, but freely available without permit or even id check. Anyone can buy buy quantity specified from the duty free on arrival also. Ironically if caught by the system, you will be punished of consuming alcohol. That's why we had permit even though we dont buy from the licensed stores(always get from duty free which was almost half the price). The moment law enforcement comes into place, you are charged with consuming alcohol if you don't have a permit
Who knows what the real story is . She s accused of binge drinking and making an idiot of herself ...
Fatimah they are advertising there beaches and night clubs that doesn't mean ppl can have sex on the streets
brit, so the cab driver may have asked for her number, was brushed off and made up a little story?
sness...rofl!
Maybe next time he wants to take a walk at the Bois de Bologne..admiring the trees...at night. Rofl!

cherukkan - you should avoid the red light district in future, LOL
I have seen a young nude lady in Paris in one of the inner streets few years back.
when you advertise yourself to be a certain way you are gonna attract all kinds,so you need to make your policies clear and not send mixed signals!
Ask a cab driver.
Depends on the cab driver I would say Brit. :P
Is sex in a cab tolerated anywhere ??
Khanan, no you can't compare Ibiza to Dubai, but Dubai wants you to believe it's like Ibiza!
So in west a person can get away with having sex in public so it's fine and acceptable. How abt third world country like Afghanistan where judicial system is weak and a person can get away with religious killing. Does that make religious killing acceptable?
As per my experience, even the law is almost the same in most of the Middle East countries but no one will disturb you in Dubai until some body complains against you. When there is a complaint from a resident, off course the government has to take action according to the law. This is also the right of the citizens and residents that their complaints should be attended.....
Such is the state of our world..despite all the attempts made by moderates from either side, stereotyping will always be prevalent in some peoples minds, and haters will believe exactly what they want to believe!
and dress code are two different issues..
Dubai/UAE cannot be compared to Ibiza.
Brit: speaking from experience, you're sooooo right :-P
Indecent exposure in the West is a slap on the wrist and a fine at worse. It's not jail time & deportation like here in the ME.
Which is why if you go for a walk on the beach in certain touristy areas like Ibiza, Benidorm, Magaluf, etc in the middle of the night you'll probably stumble across a few amorous couples.
Which is fine, because those places advertise themselves as the type of places you can do those things.
The problem with Dubai, is that it advertises itself as the type of place you can do this and then throws you in jail when you do it!
It's these Irish. Women just can't seem to resist them :0(
It's funny how we all like to stereotype, isn't it FathimaH? :-)
Don't tell porkies nomerci and max1986, you can't go out anywhere in the West without bumping into couples doing it "al fresco" ;-)
On France:again,I couldn't agree more. At least they have the guts to stand up for what they believe, whether we agree with them or not.
Having sex in public is a considered offending in UAE or UK or USA
I wouldn't trust you even in a cage..what if you try to seduce the poor keeper? *shudders*
Precisely Fatima. The UAE (and even Qatar) can't keep playing this schizophrenic game of "we're open but we aren't" Either you're totally open, like the West and you support people's individual rights to say & wear what they like, or you don't.
Personally I don't care either way. Make me wear an abaya, don't make me wear an abaya. Let me drink in public, don't let me drink in public. Make up your bleeding minds already.
I mean, as much as I disagree with Frances burkha ban, at least they're being clear about it, instead of wishy washy like the ME!
Well, one thing I know though...sex in public places is NOT condoned in the WEST.
Has nothing to go with the GCC.
Although, you don't get deported in the West....
So true MM and FathimaH :-)
Personally, I think the Brits are just a randy bunch, we should be locked up in cages.
And for all those people not wanting expats dressing "immodestly" just take a look at all the well known designer and high street shops. The most skimpiest of skimpy clothes worn by models are plastered all over the place and being sold. Surely,you don't expect ALL women who buy them to wear it "for his eyes only" and not out in public?
The truth is you can't have it both ways and any attempts to do so may very well end in disaster, with the countries in question losing much credibility!
The UAE is positively schizophrenic Fatima. It doesn't know what it wants.
Like these girls who have started a Twitter campaign to get expats to dress less skimpy...yet they have tickets to the Madonna concert. What? I mean, make up your bleeding minds people!
learn?
why is it, tat i predict tat this thread will be deleted ?
Well let's look at this video:
&ob=av2e
THIS is what Dubai advertises to the world.
Spot on, girl! Couldn't agree more.Classic case of UAE wanting to have their cake and eat it too. Doesn't really always work that way,as it's being proven time and again.
I think UAE is not for People have free sex in public places they are for having paid sex in closed places.
So MM UAE is not advertising itself as Ibiza more like its advertising itself as the Amsterdam of the middleast with the b itches I mean beaches..:)
Well I am a Drunk Uk :P
When I first read the title I thought it was you again MM with those looks and bumpy bits and colourful eye shadows which man can contain himself.:)
Rizks, bottom line It could have been a threesum... ;)
Haha FathimaH :-)
You're quite right there MM, I watch a lot of UK TV and the adverts and shows for Dubai don't show anything about it being reserved in the slightest - in fact they promote the clubs and drinking and of course the beaches in the ads.
or may be- he was not bored but Jealous, tat when they can do tat -so why not him ? :)
Once Drunk Do you expect the Guy and Gal to remember what they did on the back seat of the Cab?
They are Doomed for sure, Jail time with Deportation and getting banned from GCC.
Galloper, he got bored because he was not in a position to watch the uncut movie properly?
"Brits come here and act like stupid tourists!"...now where is britexpat ? :)
Honestly I think Dubai brings it on itself. They advertise themselves as this great tourist destination with beaches & bars, etc, and then are shocked when Brits come here and act like stupid tourists!
Here's a thought, if you don't want people to dress in skimpy clothes, get drunk in public and have sex on the beaches/in taxi's, etc DON'T advertise yourselves as the Ibiza of the Middle East!
Yeah so much so that they lost all logical reasoning and sense! Seriously, how can people be so dumb? Or is it one of those fifteen minutes of fame stunts? Sheeesh!
i think- the driver was driving as well as drooling...:)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2145142/Rebecca-Blake-arrested-Dubai-having-sex-Conor-McRedmond-backseat-taxi.html
is QL becoming daily'fail' :)
Perhaps the smell in the cab made them feel frisky.
last year...........how old story is this?
Rizky.....driver must be smelling a foul play ;D
what do you think the driver was doing???
Taking the chance to see a movie without "cuts". But anyways he got bored and complained to the police.
Regards!!
they eat RAW meat with Alcohol ! :)
it to be posted :)
UAE and The English..never ending saga.
Make me wonder sometime what these people eat which make them so sexually hyperactive? or Alcohol to blame for it.
and wat was the driver of tat cab doing ?
