Dubai Holiday Error : 18 year old, had sex with a 17 year old girl

[arista]

The Mother grassed him up.

He now faces 20 years in Jail.

Under UEA rules
a 17-year-old is a minor

Lock it up and throw away the key. Pedophile.

Why? Why do people want to go to a country with a legal system set in the dark ages? Dubai may all seen jet-setty and cool, but remember who's policing it.

A bit like the rich Arabs who come to London to do the same....

Dubai is so far down my list of places to visit you can hardly see it.

It is a Big Luxury Holiday
but make sure you are aware of Local Arabic Laws.


This Lad
did not know the mother of the 17-year-old Lady
would grass him up to the Police, there.



Lock Him Up
set a good example for all to see.

Totally agree

He got 1 year in prison.

Hope he spends it thinking about what a dirty boy he is.

These are people in the same year of college/sixth-form. It’s a few months, for God’s sake. You don’t magically become another level of chronologically mature from 17-and-a-half to 18.

[Alf]

I see nothing wrong with it at all. Basically the same age.

Ridiculous.

[Glenn.]

Shes not an adult though

[Cherie]

We can't pick and choose, its their law, no different to a 16 year old having sex with a 15 year old here, he obviously ran into the wrong family who were willing to do this to him, bad luck

When in Rome? this is the Middle East we are talking about, they wont be wishy washy with it, the law is 18 ...end of

Isn't there Romeo & Juliet laws to prevent a situation like this happening in this country tbf.

The Mother is a very bad person imo for grassing him up like that, as his clearly not being a Paedophile.

The girls family are Indian, I would imagine they had other plans for their daughter and probably an element of racism, and she ensured this holiday romance did not carry on in the UK.....

[Cherie]

Apparently David Lammy is the MP for the area the boy comes from and he has not helped the family at all....

I didn't know her family were Indian, but as soon as I saw him I wondered if the family reacted as they did because he was black.

[Mystic Mock]

Even if she has got other plans for her Daughter, it doesn't mean that she should be ruining someone else's life over it, that's monstrous conduct imo.

[bots]

There is quite clearly more to this. The family have probably lost money because their daughter is no longer pure and they wanted revenge for that

[Cherie]

oh I agree its horrendous, the relationship was consensual and they wanted to meet up again when they got home, parents obviously had other ideas about that

[Cherie]

yes indeed

[Mystic Mock]

It appears that you're very correct about that.

And I agree with bots assessment as well.

He is lucky to get one year in Jail.


Yes the Mother
must be angry

[Livia]

Lammy has turned being stupid into kind of an art form.

[bots]

he has now been pardoned and released

[Oliver_W]

I'm just surprised that Dubai even has an age of consent, let alone one in double figures that's at an age above ours.

[Livia]

Who would want to go there?

[Zizu]

Who would want to go there?


That’s the way I feel about Thailand and the Philippines !!

Over the years so many horrible news stories and scandals seem to happen there

Come on Oliver! They're not Iraq.

You only have to tell the Iraq Government that age of consent should be between 16-18 years old, and the Iraq Government respond with "nine," with a shockingly strong German accent.:shocked:

Yes Lucky,
he now back in London.

…there is t a load of information at this time but here’s a little more detail of the crash…

Marcus Fakana, 19, died from “significant” injuries after the smash just before 1am on Friday.

Officers on patrol attempted to stop a vehicle “of interest” in Pretoria Road, Edmonton.

The Metropolitan Police said following a short pursuit of approximately 60 seconds, they temporarily lost sight of it.

Shortly after, officers drove onto The Roundway, Tottenham, to find the car had been involved in a road traffic collision with another vehicle.

The teenage passenger suffered serious wounds and was provided with immediate first aid prior to the arrival of the London Ambulance Service and an air ambulance.

A force spokesman added: “He was taken to hospital where, despite the best efforts of emergency services and medical staff, he died a short time later.

“His next of kin have been informed.”

The male driver, also 19, survived but was arrested after the smash on suspicion of failure to stop and dangerous driving. He remains in police custody.

He won't reoffend.
