A woman, who was caught by Dubai cops after she complained at the police station she was raped, was sentenced to three months in jail by the Court of First Instance on Thursday.
The 29-year-old Pakistani woman who was on a visit visa was detained and found guilty by the court of working as a prostitute. The court also ordered that she be deported.
The incident took place on April 21 in International City and was reported to Al Rashidiya police station.
A police sergeant said the woman came to the station saying she was raped by 12 men.
"She claimed 12 men raped her at a flat in International City. As we investigated her, she eventually confessed she made the story up to avoid being held legally accountable for working in prostitution."
The sergeant added : "She further confessed that her boss, who exploited her, dropped her at a flat on the day she filed the complaint. She had sex with one Pakistani man and with his two friends for Dh600. But after none of them paid her, she lodged a complaint to implicate them."
Police followed up on the case. "A reliable source later tipped us off about one of the suspects. We traced him to his flat in the Italian cluster while we got a public prosecution warrant for raid, arrest and search," the police officer said.
Upon his arrest the next day, the accused admitted to having sex with the woman. The police arrested the other two men on the same day. One of the defendants confessed he rented a flat from a cleaner to meet the woman there.
The woman identified them during a police line-up of suspects.
