Dubai: A court has given 14 Asian girls and two pimps [in two separate cases] varying jail terms after they were found guilty of working in what law enforcement officers described as 'sex-houses'.
Law enforcement officers have recently beefed up their campaign against sex workers and prostitution dens as Dubai police arrested about 170 girls, from different nationalities, and referred them to courts.
On Monday, the Dubai Court of First Instance sentenced two Chinese male pimps to six months in jail each for running a brothel of seven Chinese women who were each given six months in jail.
On Sunday, the court sentenced seven women, including six Indians and an Indonesian, aged between 24 and 38, to one year for working in the sex industry.
