Dubai: A New Zealander on Wednesday denied having consensual sex with his current girlfriend, a British woman, and his ex-girlfriend, a Brazilian woman.
Prosecutors charged the two women, 31-year-old Briton, D.S., and 25-year-old Brazilian, P.F., with allowing the 33-year-old New Zealander, T.C., to have illicit sex with them.
T.C. was also accused of having consensual sex with each of the two women.
Law enforcement records showed that the incident happened when the ex-girlfriend, P.F., walked into her ex-lover's, T.C., flat and busted him in bed with his new girlfriend, D.S., shortly after he broke up with her.
Prosecutors charged P.F. with going on rampage and threatening D.S. and T.C. at knifepoint and destroying part of his furniture.
The Brazilian woman on Wednesday pleaded not guilty. When she appeared before the Dubai Court of Misdemeanor, she strongly refuted the charges of allowing T.C. to have out-of-wedlock sex with her and of threatening her crime accomplices at knifepoint.
"I got drunk," confessed P.F. when she stood before Presiding Judge Abdullah Khlaif Abu Zaid in courtroom 5.
Prior to the hearing, the court's main-gate security guard tried to prevent D.S. from walking into the court building because she wore a skirt. However, she was let in shortly after that.
"Not guilty," D.S. contended when the judge leveled against her the charge of consensual sex.
The New Zealander, T.C., also pleaded not guilty and dismissed the accusation of having sex with the two women.
Advocate Sulaiman Lutfi, who is defending P.F. and T.C., asked Presiding Judge Abu Zaid for an adjournment to prepare his closing defence.
A few weeks ago the three suspects were released on bail after being detained in Bur Dubai Police Station.
The defendants were arrested after T.C. reportedly called the police and complained that P.F. walked in to his flat and found him with D.S. and threatened them at knifepoint.
Police interrogators discovered that T.C. had consensual sex with each of the two girls. That's when the trio was detained.
A former detainee at Bur Dubai Police Station told Gulf News that the love rivals, D.S. and P.F., became friends during the time they spent together in provisional detention.
During yesterday's hearing, the two girls were spotted sitting side-by-side on the bench.
Prosecutors accused P.F. of scaring D.S. and T.C. with a knife and wrecking some of T.C.'s furniture. She was also charged with consuming liquor.
The court reconvenes on February 27.
