Dubai: Three workers and a woman have been jailed for three years each for running a brothel where two year-old girls were found to be working as prostitutes. One of the Pakistani girls was reported to have been convinced by her year-old countrywoman to fly in to Dubai to work in prostitution in a flat at Al Baraha.
Once the girl landed at the airport, the older woman picked her up and accompanied her to a flat where there was another Pakistani teenaged girl in January. The two girls willingly worked in prostitution for their three countrymen workers, aged 21, 29 and 32, who happened to be running the flat in Al Baraha as a prostitution den. Shortly after the informant entered the flat, the police raided the place and arrested the three workers and a year-old Pakistani, who happened to be having sex with the woman.
On Thursday, the Dubai Court of First Instance convicted the Pakistani trio and the year-old fugitive of running a brothel and benefiting financially from one of the prostitutes by taking the proceeds of sex. However, the four convicts were acquitted of human trafficking and sexually exploiting the year-old girls who were found to have been willingly working in prostitution. The customer was also jailed for six months for having consensual sex with the absconding defendant.
The convicts will be deported following the completion of their punishments. The year-old girl testified that her countrywoman convinced her to come to Dubai and work in prostitution. I told my parents that I would be working as a saleswoman so that they allowed me to travel to Dubai. Once I arrived, she picked me up and took me to the flat. She told me that I would be working for the three Pakistani men suspects who were running the brothel. There was another girl in the flat β¦ we used to get 10 clients per day.
We used to charge each client Dh for sex. Later on, the year-old woman flew to Pakistan and she never returned. The year-old defendant used to enter the number of clients and the proceeds in a log book. That is considered a human trafficking crime.
