MAIL Online: The British mother of two accused of cheating on her estranged husband in Dubai has been jailed for two months.
Sally Antia, 44, was arrested for breaching the emirate's strict morality laws on May 2 this year after her husband Vincent informed police that he believed she was having an affair.
She pleaded guilty to adultery. Her lover Mark Hawkins, who had previously denied the allegation, was also jailed for two months.
Their sentences will be backdated from the date of their arrest on May 2 this year.
Mr Hawkins appeared nervous ahead of the sentencing yesterday and refused to divulge details of the affair.
During an interview with Sky News he continually asked: 'Have you seen Sally? How is Sally?'
He said there were 'quite a few other Britons' in the jail in Dubai with the pair, and admitted he found the situation 'hard, extremely difficult to deal with'.
'It is extremely difficult to get information on what is happening in the outside world, the officers only speak Arabic.
'Making phone calls to anyone is also difficult, and when you do, you are only allowed a few minutes a day.'
But he admitted that not knowing what would happen to him or Ms Antia was the worst, saying: 'I just hope at least something will happen (in court tomorrow), so that I can finally know what is going to happen to me.'
Vincent Antia was accused of informing on his wife to improve his chances of winning custody of their children. >>> | Tuesday, June 02, 2009
