A 24-year-old maid has been sentenced to three months in jail for working in prostitution.
The Indonesian woman who was also accused of working for people other than her sponsor has been fined Dh1,000. The Court of First Instance ordered that she be deported after completing her jail sentence.
She was reported absconding from her sponsor on August 16, last year in Al Rafaa. The maid was arrested in Fujairah after the police learnt that she was at a domestic help recruitment office.
She reportedly admitted in the investigation that she had run away from her sponsor's house and worked as maid for others. She also confessed that she worked as a prostitute in Dubai and would collect an average of Dh200 per day. She may appeal the verdict within 15 days.
