- An 18-year-old man has been sentenced to one year in a Dubai jail for having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl, a campaign group has said.
Marcus Fakana, of Tottenham, “feels abandoned by the British government and Keir Starmer”, Detained in Dubai said.
Radha Stirling, the group’s chief executive, said the sentence was an “utter disgrace” and “an embarrassment to Britain”, adding that “the UK has prioritised trade deals over people’s lives”.
Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by commentator Benedict Spence, who condemns the mother for her actions in getting the young man jailed.

They should ask the girl to come back to Dubai to give evidence, and if she fails to return then throw the case out.
You are spot on.
Exactly, the young man should have adamantly denied the sexual encounter. Without the young lady onsite to give testimony, the case should have been tossed!
Probably the best response I've heard
@nadblack6944 The difference is under UAE law, he was classified as an adult & because she was only 17, she was classified as a minor. He was the adult here. He took advantage of her and deserves the light prison sentence he received.
@ that maybe the law in UAE but how sure are you that he knew the law and took advantage of the girl? Another question it’s rumoured the mother waited until she returned to the UK to report what she found out
He broke the law in Dubai, however the mother should never have reported him, it was cruel and unnecessary. Perhaps she has her daughter lined up for marriage to a first cousin.
Did the girl tell her mother, otherwise how did she know?
@@janetsymonsseems they were found out quite randomly by accident. Young people doing young people stuff... I feel sorry for both.
That's what I was thinking
What like the UK Royal family did!
You just said “he broke the law in Dubai” … how in the world can u follow that up 🤷♂️
Perhaps don’t break the law in Dubai.
shabby evil behaviour from the mother and probably some racist element too, PLUS she is a lousy hypocrite because she made sure her own kid was safely out of the country before she reported it
The reason the mother reported the youngman is because he's black and the the Young girl is of Indian
Decent.
He was sent to prison because he was classified as an adult & under UAE law she at 17 was a child. Who would applaud the ruination of this girls reputation?
_…Probably..?!_ 🤷♂️
The lad clearly lacks self control
Marcus is just unlucky …..
Never will i ever visit Dubai. I have no. Interest in that country at all.
Dubai is not a country
If you dont break the law its fine, Ive been a few times.....
It's the travel hub/gateway to all of Asia, unfortunately.
No, Singapore is!
that country is messed up !!!😮
The mother is an idiot. She's just brought a private encounter she was ashamed of into the public eye. Both her and her daughter have been outed on social media. If she'd just moved on then this would have been forgotten.
That’s the point of the story I’m not getting. Why expose your own daughter’s doing to the 🌍. His community is going to see him as a victim. The daughter’s community her rep is totally ruined and she is a volunteer. Just malicious madness from the mother.
She obviously lacked wisdom by reporting the case when her daughter consented to the sexual encounter with the boy.
She should be shamed openly
@@Abioladavid01
they are probably saying she was forced!😂
@@Abioladavid01consent doesnt matter in this case since she was still a minor despite being a few months apart..that being said ppl are forgetting that TWO laws have been broken and one of those laws would have led to the girl getting to punished to. Its perfectly fine to think he deserved it since he broke a countries law BUT to convenient leave out the fact that the girl gets to get away with breaking Dubais laws, is odd
She’s brought that karma to herself by acting malicious and exposed her daughter in the process…
I am upset the way the media covered this! A girl from the UK; the Indian girl's mother is racist - call the situation for what it is. In turn, it will hold racists and bigots accountable. You want him out, popular RUclips channels such as this one need to reach out to the EPL. Dubai like the rest of the UAE cares about money and their image. Word gets out that footballers are protesting this injustice, you'll see how quick Dubai changes the outcome. The power of the people!
lol I was thinking this mtself
I bet the mum know the laws, that's why she grassed him up back in UK.
absolutely.
His ignorance about the country laws cost him big time. Search about the country laws before you go. Not every country is a lawless country like Britain
I'm not certain, but I suspect it's illegal to have sex with a minor. Not for a minor to have sex, if that makes sense!
His ignorance about the Indian cast system cost him.
Now, the whole world knows that her daughter is no longer a virgin out of wedlock. This really backfired spectacularly. Poor girl.
I dont anyone cares now.
I’m pretty sure they were aware of this beforehand ffs
Do we know who she is??
The girl and mother have been named
@@YG811 normally the law protects the victim from being named
The girl broke the law too - both offenders should be required to attend court in Dubai for the case to be heard and evidence to be collected . If she does not come back to Dubai , the case should be thrown out
Precisely
Because it takes two to have sex. So to lock him up without the "evidence" that is the girl is hypocritical!!! To the max 🙏🏼
I'm not sure she did break the law. Im guessing but it's probably illegal to have sex with a minor, not for the minor to have sex, if that makes sense
@ it does make sense - I think you’re right
The mom waited till they came back to the UK then reported it otherwise her daughter would’ve been in more trouble
The girl is under aga duhhhh
Dubai officials, should have told the mother, if she wanted them to investigate the matter, her daughter would have to return to Dubai.
That mother knew well that the young man would get into serious trouble in Dubai. What an evil woman she is because she only reported him while she was safely back in England and she knew he was still on holiday there. She is a racist, malignant, devious woman. Her daughter wasn't raped. The daughter must have told her mother the details about their tryst. I hope the English government ensures his immediate release and repatriation. Watching with horror from Ireland 🇮🇪
It's the British government, not English.
The mother didn’t care enough about the rules of the country by reporting the crime when they were still there.
She didn't learn about the offence until they got back to the UK
@@sandeepk4093and what was the offence? It was consensual as far as we all know!
@sandeepk4093, what was the point of reporting it after, tho?
I knew there was more to the story makes perfect sense now. Black boy sleeping with an Asian girl that’s why she reported him. Also her Ethnicity would allow her to play the victim with Dubai especially if they are Muslim themselves. I live in the middle east and I’m from the uk this does happen here but it results in people being deported usually and give huge fines not usually prison.
Did you speak to the mother to get this info?
I can't understand why don't he and us respect the law of the land? Why everyone wants all countries think like the UK?
...or it could be because he broke the law.
Stop and think how you would feel if a 13 year old girl consented to sex in the UK, but the man was freed because in his country the legal age of consent is 13?
There are many countries around the world where consent is 18, so it is always best to check the law of the country you are visiting.
@@TheMirrorGuy but the girl also broke the law so she should have to go back to serve her time as well. It would only be fair if the girl was also made to serve the time she would have if the mother didnt wait until they were in the UK to report the crime
As she should protect her daughter.
watching from France: very disturbing behaviour from the mother. Sounds very racist to me. The mother should feel ashamed of herself.
Not really she is protecting her daughter who was a minor,,,when. You have a daughter let boys run through her , disturbing moral ,,no shame
As a person of South Asians descent, yes unfortunately racism did play a role in the mothers decision.
@@hemanthathirumaran7654 it seems racism against the Indian lady is playing a huge part in most of the comments on this subject. If only more parents could find the strength to protect there children from the lawless.
@ No it’s not, if she was so concerned about her cultural values why did she only extend the punishment to guy involved and not her own daughter, who was also a willing participant. This is where the hypocrisy lies. Besides are you seriously suggesting that we in Britain should have such Draconian laws as in Dubai. It is one thing to disagree with promiscuity but it is a whole other level of ridiculousness to suggest that there should be laws to put people in jail simply for this.
Would you say they’d do the same for a white boy if they discovered he’d done the same?
@kiuk_kiks You might be the racist one if you're suggesting the mother wouldn't have reported the rape of her daughter if the felon was white.
The mother knew her daughter would have been arrested, dirty girl, she agreed to have a sexual relationship, this has angered me that he is locked up, probably he didn't even know he was breaking Dubai's Laws that's why I personally don't go to these countries.
That's not how it works. Under the law she was a minor in Dubai, so a victim. A victim cannot be charged of a crime for being a victim. It's the same in the UK, if a 16 yo makes pictures of a 15 yo then it's an offence
Well he and his parents should know the laws of Dubai.
I truly pray for the girls in your family. Your mentality of supporting some men having sex with teen girl even if it is consensual. He should have waited till she turn 18 which is legal age.
@@jayakeshavan8047 he should find his own colour instead of ruining someone else's life
Having sex at that age is hardly "dirty". It was consensual. The mum stopped on her phone. The girl is not at fault the MOTHER is
It's great this girl has police looking into mum's concern. Shame our police and social services are not that concerned for our 12 year old white girls who are abused repeatedly by these pious men from South Asia.
Jeffrey epstein was south asian ye?
Harvey weinstein was south asian ye?
Don’t be ridiculous 🙄🙄🙄
The horrible mother is so spiteful!!
This is what happens when you are “strict” with your teenage girls!! They have to hide almost everything from their ignorant parents!
Please don't say "South Asian". South Asia also includes India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Burma etc as well. These men are very specifically from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and sometimes Afganistan.
@sheenoshine
So true
British Indian? We know why the mum called the cops then 😂
Would she have called have done this if the boy was of Indian origin?
I don’t blame her tbh
@@LiamM_ really ???, why is that then ??
The dowry just fell through the floor .
That is the cruxes of the matter.
Oh she will still get a. Dowry darling
Just don’t break the law of the country xx
The mother, what a nasty thing to do….
I don't see how this is remotely fair. Seems very calculated. They both consented so why punish the boy.
Dubai law
She reported it AFTER they left the country which means that the daughter was not held accountable for breaking the law.
Scary. I feel really sorry for this young man. 😢
There will be more than meets the eye, it may be the mother is upset about her daughter not being worth so much now.
THE DAUGHTER WILL BE REJECTED BY THE FAMILY, TO MAKE IT WORST ,SHE HAD SEX WITH A BLACK MAN, THATS A NO,NO,
@@garyford3533 that’s ok because they are in love, he’ll come back and they will marry and have a baby and live happily ever after and she wont end up as a single mother
Well this might not be her first time so
Sorry he broke their law. Maybe his mother should name and shame the girl? See how her mother likes it?
Daughter was considered a minor at the time and cannot be charged. At 18 he was an adult.
@dietlindvonhohenwald448
The fact of the matter, they are both from England. Where the laws are different. They spent their whole life living in England. Although he is older, they are still the same age group and age appropriate.
The mother should accept that her daughter is guilty of the said crime.
The mother is to be blamed. She didn't teach her daughter to save herself. The daughter gave it away so quickly/easy. No doubt he was not the first.
@Chubbbbyyyyyy an Iraqi could come here and claim that the age of consent in iraq is 12. Would you argue the Iraqi shouldn't face justice?
Waiting until she was back in the .uk. so maybe her daughter wasn,t also in trouble etc.........."double" standards.........
The British government need to do more for this young black man. If he was white it would be a different story.
The unfortunate thing is that the Foreign Secretary, David Lammy who is the MP of this young man from Tottenham appears not to have interest in this boy's case with the reckless statement he made recently. Just wondering, if it were to be his son that was detained, who he use his position to prevail on UAE authorities to get him released and brought back to the UK
What are you on about? The foreign secretary is Black
This is the kind of rhetoric I can’t stand that gets “US” riled up unnecessarily and adds to the atmosphere of contempt and hate for the society “WE” live in. Sorry I don’t want to continue going around with a mindset I’m being hated or discriminated on 24/7 in many instances of social situations with “OTHERS” because someone or many people “LIKE” me are convincing me that this is the case, through rhetoric based on cases such as this dubai case where there has yet to be any indication of the Government discriminating. You really do not know what actions are being taken by the government to help. You are just going by what you think and saying it like it’s so and then adding whataboutism into the mix?? Can’t you see that making such assumptions casually on a regular basis is (low key) reckless and inflammatory to the point of getting “US” incandescent over something that more often than not, is not the actual reality of what you think? And so “WE” anger and frustrate ourselves unnecessarily over and over again building up unnecessary contempt that boils over in ways that are detrimental to “OURSELVES” and “OUR” community.
😂 he committed a crime!!? What do you want the govt to do?? Tell Dubai to disregard their criminal laws? 🤣🤣 Just because the UK is lax on these crimes doesn't mean the rest of the world needs to follow suit
@YT / Mods if you are going to delete my comments then please remove me from receiving notifications from this thread!!!
His hue definitely played a part in the mothers' vindictive decision.
Yet when their citizens break the law in the West they are hurriedly scurried out of the country to escape prosecution. There was the case of a Saudi prince who killed his gay lover in London some years ago who never faced prosecution and was never extradited from Saudi Arabia.
i mean it's soft touch UK. if a Brit breaks US law they get dealt with by the US. An american gets extradited or flown out the country secretly, eg that CIA lady who drove on wrong side and killed that boy.
and that event you're talking about is as a Saudi (not UAE/Dubia) prince. and it was his servant
Some people in the west is too money hungry and would do anything thing for it folks always remember man/woman are a mixture of truth and falsehood 2 sides of a coin nothing should surprise us in this life
The mother is spiteful and I bet she got the young man in trouble just to punish her daughter by making her feel guilty and regret because of her disobedience towards the mum and for going against strict cultural traditions.
Fair play to the mother. It's not a bad thing to have values. For her, the belief of no intimacy before marriage would be almost the same as a law. Just because Brits/westerners are happy for their kids to risk pregnancy and diseases from intimacy, doesn't mean the rest of the world has to follow. He broke the law in Dubai by committing an act with a minor so he is facing justice.
Dubai applied their law which is not outrageous...the great innovation would be if Britain equally applied its laws.
FGM illegal for decades,yet it continues with 1 prosecution/conviction in all this time.
The outrageous bit is what the mother did. Of course Dubai aren't wrong to apply their own laws. But the mother who reported him out of spite knowing what would happen to him....
What is outrageous is the mother’s vindictive and wicked behavior, the young man should have pleaded not guilty and let the young girl in question go to court, as this relationship was consensual, then see what would be outrageous.
How embarrassing for the near 18yr old daughter ,,having a mother telling the world that youve had sex ?
Every country has its own laws but can't help feeling sorry for the boy if the liaison was entirely consensual . I wouldn't think the girl is happy about what the mother did .
Send the girl there as well! They should both be in jail the mother did this on purpose and everyone thinks its ok. That mother is EVIL who is she ? Where does she live ? Why do evil people like this exist in this world.
The mother should go jail in uk
For what for protecting your daughter? He broke the law,as he went on holiday not to have sex.why didn't he choose his own colour.
Brother dont ever speak again😭😭 bro is speaking on behalf of the vegans
Dubai has near on zero crime rates….. what does that tell you?
Sand pit, I can’t bare sand!
False statement. What you should have said is "zero tolerance towards crime". There is crime and it's dealt with speedily and harshly, hence, why it's got a prison full of people.
@@apollomemories7399 yep, my bag. You’re right. I’ve got friends who live there. They are amazed how useless our judicial system is.
Yes, I visited Dubai last year for the first time, and indeed, it felt safe.
@@adambinnie1332 my mate in Dubai told me he left his phone by accident on the table of a fast food outlet discovering the mistake a good hour later. He returned to the store and his phone was still on the table where he’d left it. No one had touched it. True story.
You are correct. The mother is entirely reponsible for this. The Dubai police had to act on recieving a complaint. Thar's their job. The mother knew what would happen. Plainly she has a twisted idea of her parential reponsibility and will wonder why her daughter will suffer mental health issues in later life. Damn her.
If you travel to a foreign country you need to know the laws.
I Agree 💯!
Why ain’t she in jail?
Because she was back in the UK when her mother reported it.
The young woman is considered a minor, and the victim, as she was 17 and not legally able to consent to sex, as the age of consent in Dubai is 18. The young man was 18 so he is the perpetrator/defendant.
Her mother complained when they arrived back in the UK, if she had been in Dubai she would have also faced prison and that's probably why the mother only complained once they got back.
@Coco-uk9tv , but the mother waited until they were in the UK to report him. Why didn't she do that in Dubai? She knows what she's doing.
@@Zlervo The mother knew exactly what she was doing because her daughter would be in trouble as well and in jail now.
On a trip to St Lucia a law that should not be ignored Don't ever have a T shirt or any clothing that shows the St Lucian flag or wear any Camouflage clothing they are both offences that carry jail time .research the country you are going to for a holiday to ensure you don't commit any crimes
I am from a neighbouring island. i know of the camouflage thing. we have a similar thing about camo. tbh, it depends on which police you meet on the day.
However, the flag thing? you sure?? as surely they sell tourist shirts with their flags?!
@ barbaraneville5036
Are you sure about this?
We love saint lucia . The wife and me are both caribbean brits . We've been on holidays to saint lucia 10 times. Love croslet Rodney bay and bay beach gardens hotel.
@@johndasilva2686 We were at Marigot bay Love to go there again but the jet lag on the 10 hour return flight is just a bit much for me to be honest So we mostly go direct south from the UK Canary islands these days
@barbaraneville5036 You only live once, don't let the jet lag stop you! I'm similar to you, my two favourite countries- Lanzarote and Jamaica. 4 hour flight compared to a 10 hour flight, I struggle with the jetlag too but nothing compares to the vibe of carribean countries 🎉
The mother has brought the required karma on herself. She spitefully knew what she was doing and will be repaid according. She blamed this kid entirely…
The mother Kama will come right back to her with interest... Shame on the Government for not stepping in and help
.Very sad the mother should be punished
I feel for the boy and his family. ❤
Why hasn't the girl been sent to prison as well? How did she prove it if they were already back in their own country.
The Holy Koran states both should be punished if two people commit Zina (sex without marriage), why have they singled him out, were is her sentence or punishment,, Allah don’t like injustice
She is under age .
@ he is only couple of months older , he is 18 and she is 17 they should have threw that out of court, it still injustice
And My
Allah doesn't Punish mankind ....
My Allah
Forgives them
You humans violate these verses and misinterpret them....
If
My Allah
wanted to punish people there would be an empty world.
The girl needs to be extradited and charged as she also committed a "crime"
It is a heartless and unconscionable act on the mother's part. She is worried about her daughter having sex, which her daughter may have had sex without her knowing in the past. How do you put a young man in jail because he had a romance with someone. Should he have asked her, how old are you and/or when do you become 18? The mother took something that should have been kept a secret in her community to telling the entire world that she is an idiot and should be put in jail. What is the law in Dubai about minors being under the guardianship of parents while committing sexual crimes. Shouldn't the parent be penalized for not making sure her daughter was supervised properly?
Young Asian don't mixed up with other nationality the parents will go mad if they find out.
These are young people they are not perfect but the mother is the one who has the problem.
Blame the mother she knows the law of Dubai that's why she reported him
We aren’t in no position to judge other countries laws considering we don’t imprison child abusers!
That's person with sense
There were about the same age. They BOTH are culpable
The law is the law unless its in Britain they dont uphold the laws here
THE GIRL IS NO VICTIM, THEY BOTH BROKE THE LAW
At 17 she was a minor and can not be charged under adult law. Age 18 is an adult.
If your in someone else country, you respect their customs and follow their rules, but its a pity so many from overseas come here and ignore ours.
It is worst than not obeying our laws, they actually are managing to change our laws for their benefit.
The mother of the girl is only angry the boy is black why would she wait till her daughter to get to uk both should be arrested is pure revenge she did all because he is black boy shame so much she carries British passport but no British value they already knew in dubai i believe but the waited for their own daughter to get home why would she call 100000 of miles that is pure hate
The British Authorities should detain the girls parents for the same period, that the young kid is in prison!
Not only was this unnecessary, that 18 year old is just a kid too!
I second that, but for what crime? She intentionally tried to harm the boy out of spite, is there a law that can be used to get her arrested for this? Too bad his family is poor, if they had money maybe this is something they could pursue.
She filed the case against this boy but I tell you didn’t save herself from what their daughter will do from now going forward … Good Luck Mam
This is disgusting. The so called crime happened in Dubai so she should have told them whilst her daughter was in the country. This could of ended up even worse but for the grace of God. She is a pious hypocrite giving the appearance of holiness whilst denying the power there of… this is just so she can marry her of to an affluent suitor and say it’s not her fault she’s not a virgin.
Julia they were in Dubai NOT Britain! Obey the laws to where you go to holiday in!🤦♀️
I feel for him.But when in Rome
Yet immigrants here rape children and get off with it because they didn't know it was illegal
Yet they want to marry their cousins over here!
The girl should also get in trouble. These parents 🤨🤦🏾♀️
He's a 17 year old kid. It was consensual. She was equally to 'blame'. It's not fair on both of those counts.
This story is Insane. A 17 yr old and an 18 yr old fall in love and they get punished. So cruel.
I don't think your overly romantic take is quite accurate either
I hope all these commenters who say "well thats the law so tough", are all paying their tv licences
Yep, I pay mine. I don't break the law here, but he broke the law there. So he has to pay.
@@Jackie-ji2sj the girl broke the law too?
I'm not sure what this comment means. There's no point having laws if they're not enforced. Unless you believe laws should just be treated blurrily and sometimes enforced and sometimes not enforced?
Was the girl earmarked for arranged marriage? Yes they both broke the law (probably unknowingly) but how absolutely despicable is that woman for reporting him....after she made sure her daughter was safe back home! I feel for the poor lad.
How many boys in uk have been sentenced when a girl decideds to report it to the police.. when she has a on night stand. So whats why is this case so important.
The trouble is that he's too young! If he'd have been 50 or so he'd have walked free.
I think it is more to do with the youngman's ethnicity, if he was of Asian ethnicity the world wouldn't be hearing anything about this story. The parents would cover it over. But because he is a black lad from a different culture & different tribe, revengence took set. None are rightesous on this earth all fall short & all of us have sinful nature. Also it appears that young lady doesn't know much about her parents customs & the place they visited for a holiday, it takes two to tango & in that moment of what they both did, has now turned into chaos. Yes the mother was angry & hurt about her daughter's actions but she could of dealt with the matter another way. Who is without sin cast the first stone. & there are many stone throwers in this world & we still haven't learnt from what the messiah of old was showing the ppl not to do.
YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ISLAM.
Yes young lady should be held accountable as well that mama of her's is horrible
The Lad will have a rough time in jail.
Good, maybe next time he should abide by the rules or learn them before travelling
i reckon he'll make a few quid selling his story
He might never be seen again. Dubai prisons are known for that.
There is no excuse for not knowing the law there - Parents teach your kids that they need to accept the rule of law in that land - perhaps even telling them physical relationships on holiday are not a great idea!!!!! We've got it so far wrong in the U.K.
What about the sex trafficking in Dubai.
No one is locked up then
I 100% agree with Julia about that Dubai Holiday Romance case. But I'm not surprised by what the girl's mother did. In my experience many Asian parents are like this especially when it involves their daughter. As a non-Asian having a relationship with a Asian woman is one of the hardest things to do because her "Family of Bodyguards", And that's even when flirting at work. Their paranoia is Crazy.
And nothing can be done to the mother about this... horrifying. Disgusting..
I suspect the Indian mother may have had other concerns that can't be mentioned but luckily the man is a constituent of David Lammy's, an ace diplomat who will sort it out in no time.
edit: changed Lammy to Lammy's.
David Lammy, an ace diplomat. Is that some sort of a joke.
he only got two weeks prison before lammy's intervention
Then the parents should have made sure their son behaves himself in Dubai and knows the law!!😅
Obey the laws of the country you are in. Just like the masses of people who are coming here uninvited should be obeying our laws.
It didn't matter if he knew or not the mother s action that's pure R...
The Mother didn't report it until she left the country, so it should be thrown out completely
Dubai applied the law in Dubai. Would be great if that happened in the uk. And not disregarded for the privileged minority’s.
As an American I am shocked you are considered an Adult at 16 in the UK 🇬🇧 👀
We aren't. It is 18. So if a 17yo commits a crime, he/she cannot be named, for instance.
It's 18. We can't legally buy alcohol until we are 18. But the age of consent here is 16, which seems a bit topsy-turvy.
As a Brit, I'm shocked that they let children drive in the US, but don't let them vote.
We're not it's 18, but the age of sexual consent is 16.
As a Brit I'm amazed that you voted in Biden in last term...at least you've eventually seen sense.
The daughter has been ruined by the black D. This is just revenge by the Mother. How did she find out? I don’t think the daughter confessed.
She found messages on her cell phone
We see certain demographics knowingly break our Laws on a highly regular basis yet most keep quiet about it. When it happens somewhere else, especially when somebody appears not to know the Law, it's okay. It should be the same everywhere, especially in this Country; if you break the Law, you are tried and jailed.
The guy in Dubai would also face jail if he did the same thing in the US, as the age of consent there is also 18 yrs old if the girls mother complained, not every country has a low age of consent like we do.
Why didn't the mother complain when her daughter was still over there?
In the US the age of consent varies from state to state! It is not the same in each state.
He would absolutely not face jail in the US. Apart from the age of consent, the age difference between the two individuals is also taken into account and she was only a few months younger than him so statutory r*pe doesn't apply
If the UK did this well at policing, there would be no crime, looking forward to the future
Young Love. Is now a crime. When a teenager. :(
The mother is the problem here. Nobody expects civil treatment in dubai. Would never ever go there. Not even in transit.
Dude you slept with a minor in a country which has strict laws relating to minors and that's wrong? A country having a law for minors is so bad that you wouldn't even go there for transits? Imagine how safe the world would be if UK had similar laws safeguarding minors
Different country different laws didn't matter if he knew of not
Strange how many people make excuses for people who come over here though.
the Laws in the UK seem to be ok to break all the time, if you are not British, but every other country are fine to be draconian.
Yes it does. Laws like this should not be respected under ANY circumstance.
A) Don’t go to Dubai.
B) Don’t break the law in Dubai
C) See A) + B)
😂 you can't break the law if you don't go there 🤦🏾♂
Ignorance of the law is no excuse
Same with the riots in the UK. Good for the goose good for the gander
You cant know everything,
Does everyone who goes on holiday to another country check up on the laws???
If the law restricts basic human rights, it should not be respected.
When in Rome. I side w Dubai on this when in their country. Casual sex in the West is deplorable, absolute rot w stds, unwanted pregnancy, abortion, regret, rushed marriages, then divorce, unwanted children, broken hearts...absolute rot, here here for cultures trying to keep sex in a sensible boundary that means u r wanted as a wife, u will be protected as will the children...the whole point of marriage is to bond and create a family and protect women and children.
Same rules and laws were in the West as well. Somewhere over time it changed, not sure how and why.
I agree with some of your points but the shocker is that Dubai, despite being very conservative Muslim, also has a high level of prostitution. So the hypocrisy is strong with those Arab countries, especially the wealthy ones.
If that is the case, the girl has to come back and go to prison with him because she is compilcit in the crime of premarital sex
That's the law over there. Tough.
If we said that here, we would be racist
She needs to go to jail to
The law in the UAE is clear that any sexual activities with a person under the age of 18, regardless of consent, is considered a criminal offense. This includes any form of sexual contact. If only the police and courts would uphold the law here in the UK.
I bet the parents didn't discover by accident. The mother likely was snooping on her daughter's phone.
If she paid for the phone she has a right to know what it’s being used for.
Law IS the law no matter what. you had sexual relations with a minor
They were a few months apart in age. This was something that could have been "ignored" and allowing the daughter to move forward. She chose to file charges once she came home and now the whole world knows that her daughter has had sex and with a black boy. If her goal was to protect her daughter and culture, she failed miserably.
But it doesn’t matter if it was consensual or not Julia, in Dubai it is against the law in this situation
If you are underage you can't consent, just like in England with the grooming gangs.
Smh.
Of course it matters.
What we forget is not every country has such a low age of consent as we do, he would have been in trouble in the US as well if her mother complained.
@@Madonnalitta1 He was adult (18+) and she was a minor (under 18). The age of consent there is 18. No such thing as “consensual” sex between an adult and a minor. I’m truly shocked at the ignorance in the comment section.
That’s the problem. Laws like this, should NOT be respected in any situation, no matter where it is.
It's very harsh but there is little crime in Dubai compared to the UK. Dubai is very safe and their culture and laws have to be obeyed by visitors.
Has a lot of crime like prostitution, drug and sex trafficking you name it
Hard luck sunshine........when in Rome do as the Romans do.
In Dubai it’s permissible for non UAE unmarried couples to have consensual sex if both parties are aged 18 and over. Any consensual extra-marital intercourse is punishable by imprisonment for a period of no less than 6 months irrespective of age hence the reason why the mother waited to leave the country with her daughter to report the crime as the phone messages would have incriminated the daughter too
@@salmaom2181 think your information is incorrect. Obviously you have never lived in the UAE
Daughter was considered a minor at 17
Wonder what happened to our law and order here
Who are the Labour party going to put in these prisons? More Brits who tweet their opposition to the way the country is going?
The parents of the girl should be held to account for what she did. Putting an innocent man behind bars and their daughter should be behind bars too.
Why would you go to Dubai! Not interested, would never visit.
Sex is not joke in that part of the world. It is process of making another human being. Respect their laws, but one month jail would have been enough considering the background
Forget the age issue, forget the fact that it was consensual. The bottom line is EVEN ADULTS can't have sex with each other if they are NOT MARRIED! We hear these horror stories all the time from these countries. People being banged up for a lot less like simply kissing on the beach. They must have been really thick or just ignorant not to have an incling that it wasn't right. If he wanted to get his leg over, he should have waited for the lads holiday to Ibiza. Silly boy and silly family for choosing a place like Dubai for a holiday and not even discussing this sort of thing with him. And if they did, then even worse! Do the crime, do the time. We all want zero tolerance in the UK, so we can't complain when that's the case in other countries.
I think most people that go to Dubai know the rules - respect the rules and then you won't get into trouble.
Exactly they say no PDA's in Dubai and couples have only recently been allowed to live together without being married. Common sense tells you if it's a muslim country sex out of marriage could be frowned upon.
If the mother cared about the rules so much she would have reported the crime when the daughter was still in the country!
What about the girl’s responsibility? This is consensual sex.
The boy teen should not have been jailed.
So unfair, skewing his life.

Islamic law. Dubai.
The guy is lucky not to be doing 20 years. Having lived in Dubai and the UAE you must now the rules.
