Dubai: A 12-year-old girl was recently arrested for having illicit affairs with men.
A police official told Gulf News police had received a tip-off about the girl. She was arrested from an apartment in Bur Dubai where she was with a number of males, more than 15, aged between 18 and 27 years and of different nationalities, he said.
She was the only female among the men in the apartment.
The girl whose mother is a Filipina, but her father is unidentified, told police she is used to sleeping with men since she was 10 years old. The official said the case is being investigated by the Public Prosecution.
The official said she will be referred to a psychiatrist to check her mental health.
Rare case
The mother also told police she does not know who the real father of the girl is because she used to go out with many men.

The official said it is the first time police came across such a case.
