London: The British woman found guilty of having sex on Dubai's Jumeirah Beach has retuned home, her lawyer said on Wednesday.

Dubai resident M.P. was convicted in October of having sex with compatriot V.A., who was visiting the UAE. Both were sentenced to three months in prison and were fined Dh1,000.

V.A. was re-arrested late on Monday as he prepared to board a flight to London, his lawyer said, adding that he was detained at Dubai airport and returned to jail as his flight confirmation was allegedly "not in order".

M.P. was sacked from her media job in Dubai following the tryst, which took place in July.
