MAIL Online: The daughter of a British engineer has been jailed in the United Arab Emirates after being accused of sleeping with her boss.
Roxanne Hillier is serving a three-month sentence following her arrest at a dive shop where she worked in Sharjah.
The 22-year-old was asleep in a room above the store when police broke down the door and arrested her.
It was claimed she was having an affair with the shop owner, an Emirati, who was downstairs at the time.
Miss Hillier was also accused of being alone in the same room with him.
Although the 22-year-old endured 'humiliating' medical tests to prove no sexual contact had taken place, she was convicted over the alleged affair last week.
The dive shop boss received a six-month sentence even though he also denied the relationship.
Miss Hillier's case is the latest in a string to highlight the United Arab Emirates strict laws on sexual relationships. >>> | Wednesday, June 10, 2009
