Dubai: A British man has been sentenced to three months in jail for sexually abusing a woman while bowling, a Dubai court heard on Tuesday.

A 32-year-old Australian woman was bowling with friends at a hotel on Palm Jumeirah when the incident happened in September of last year.

She alerted officers at Al Barsha police station who apprehended the defendant.

Surveillance cameras showed the defendant touching the woman inappropriately.
