THE TELEGRAPH: A British woman has lost an appeal against her conviction for adultery in Dubai and been sentenced to three months in jail.
Marnie Pearce, 40, originally from Bracknell, Berks, fears she will lose custody of her two sons following the decision by the Emirate's Appeal Court.
Miss Pearce, a teaching assistant, married an Egyptian, Ihab El-Labban, in the Seychelles in 1999 and they moved to Dubai six years ago.
They had two children, Laith, now seven, and Ziad, now four, but their marriage broke down.
In March last year she was arrested and accused of committing adultery with a British man who she insists was only a friend.
She was found guilty of the offence at the end of November and sentenced to six months in jail. >>> By Nick Allen and Caroline Gammell | Thursday, January 22, 2009
