Dubai: A woman and two men have been jailed for six months for entrapping a tourist that he would be having sex with a European prostitute before they assaulted and robbed him.

The Saudi tourist thought he would be having paid sex with a blonde European woman whom he had chatted with on a dating app before he ended up being deceived by a Nigerian woman and her two countrymen.

The tourist saw pictures of the blonde woman on the app and agreed to meet her in a hotel to have sex in August.

Once he reached the hotel room, he discovered that he had been entrapped when the 22-year-old Nigerian woman welcomed him and invited him to her room.

When he inquired about the blonde woman he had chatted with on the dating app, she told him that she would be with him in a minute and went to the washroom.

Minutes later, she walked out in her underwear and told the man that he would be having sex with her and not the woman he had seen in the app.

When the tourist refused to pay the woman, she called her two countrymen, aged 25 and 27, who forced him to strip naked and filmed him with the woman’s phone.

The Nigerian trio also threatened to post his naked photos online if he did not pay them Dh1,000.

The Saudi ended up giving them Dh1,000 and his wristwatch.

The tourist complained to the police and the three hoodwinkers was apprehended.

On Monday, the Dubai Court of First Instance jailed the Nigerian trio for molesting the victim, breaching his privacy by forcing him to get naked and filming him, misusing the telecommunication system by threatening to post his naked images on the internet and robbing him.

The trio pleaded not guilty.

Presiding judge Urfan Omar said the defendants will be deported after serving their punishments.

The 22-year-old accused admitted that she enticed the tourist to have sex with her before her countrymen filmed him nude.

The male defendants denied robbing the victim or threatening him.

A police corporal testified that the tourist complained that he had been hoodwinked and blackmailed by the defendants.

“He said that he went to the hotel room in Mankhool area to have paid sex with a European woman. He claimed that the trio lied to him and lured him into the room where they made him undress and filmed him. Police raided the hotel and apprehended the male defendants … the 22-year-old woman was found hiding in the hotel,” he said.

The primary ruling remains subject to appeal within 15 days.
