Dubai: A woman visitor has been accused of working in prostitution after she was apprehended for having group sex with workers and quarrelling with them over her fees.

A labour accommodation’s security guard was said to have reported to police a fight between a group of workers and 30-year-old Nigerian prostitute whom they had hired for paid sex at their room in Al Quoz.

Prosecutors accused the woman of working in prostitution in October.

The woman pleaded guilty when she appeared before the Dubai Court of First Instance on Monday.

“Yes, I worked in prostitution,” the 30-year-old told presiding judge Urfan Omar.

A policeman testified to prosecutors that the security guard had prevented the workers and the woman from leaving after he reported the incident to the police.

“A police team was dispatched to the labour accommodation … the guard had prevented the workers and the woman from leaving. Upon questioning the woman, she claimed that she had agreed with a group of workers to have paid sex with them … every person was supposed to pay her Dh150. Meanwhile the guard said he had restrained the men after he spotted the woman leaving their room and since the accommodation is for men only. The worker and the woman were apprehended and taken to the police station,” the policeman claimed to prosecutors.

The Nigerian woman was quoted as telling prosecutors that she earned her living through working in prostitution.

Presiding judge Omar will hand out a judgement on January 9.
