Employée dans un magasin d'articles de plongée aux Emirats arabes unis, la fille britannique Roxanne Hillier (22 ans) a été condamnée à 3 mois de prison pour s'être couchée avec son patron!
La malheureuse Roxanne jure qu'elle n'a jamais eu de rapport sexuel avec son patron même si il a couché avec lui, mais les juges émiratis refusent de la croire. Pour eux, il est impossible pour une homme et une femme de coucher ensemble sans avoir de rapport sexuel!
Roxanne était encore entrain de dormir lorsque la redoutable police émiratie a débarqué chez elle pour l'arrêter à l'aube comme si elle était une dangereuse criminelle!
British engineer's daughter jailed in UAE for sleeping with boss
Roxanne Hillier was asleep in a room above the dive shop where she worked in the emirate of Sharjah when police broke down the locked door and arrested her.
They claimed she was having an affair with her boss, an Emirati, who was downstairs at the time repairing the shop's dive equipment. She was also accused of being alone in the same room with him, also technically a crime in Sharjah.
She has now been jailed for three months, despite undergoing "humiliating" medical tests to prove there had been no sexual contact.
Her father, Freddie Hillier, said police records showed the raid was ordered after someone rang them to make a complaint about her boss.
"We believe it was aimed at the boss of the place," he said. "My daughter was caught in the crossfire."
Miss Hillier's sentence is just one of a number of cases where the dangers of falling foul of the United Arab Emirates' conservative legal code have come under the spotlight.
Two British women have been jailed in Dubai already this year for adultery on charges brought by their husbands, in one case also British.
Sharjah, the neighbouring emirate to Dubai's north, is much more conservative still than Dubai.
Miss Hillier and her boss, whose full name has not been given by the courts, both denied that they had a relationship.
Miss Hillier, then aged 21, moved to Sharjah last November, hoping to "live her dream", her father said. She had an apartment in the town of Khorfakkan, an enclave of Sharjah on the Emirates' east coast, but was staying over at the nearby dive shop while it was renovated.
Her boss lived in Abu Dhabi, but often worked at the dive shop overnight at the weekends refilling air tanks and cleaning equipment ready for Saturday, the busiest day of the week.
Mr Hillier said his daughter's big mistake was to sign a confession in Arabic that she did not understand.
"They were shouting at her in Arabic," he said. "She was scared and made the mistake of bowing to pressure. She thought that was going to get her off."
She told the prosecution the next day that she was retracting her confession, but the case went ahead anyway.
She was brought before a court on May 22 for a fifteen-minute hearing conducted in Arabic. Last week, she was brought before the court again to be told briefly that she had been found guilty and sentenced to three months' jail. Her boss was sentenced to six months.
She spent her 22nd birthday in prison waiting for the verdict. Her parents and her sister, Maxine, who also works as a dive instructor but in Abu Dhabi, have been able to visit her and say she is being well treated though she says she cannot eat the food she is being served because it is "too spicy".
Miss Hillier and her sister grew up in South Africa, where she has citizenship, and Tanzania, where her father encouraged her to qualify as a diving instructor.
"My wife and I feel very guilty that we have failed our kids," he said by telephone from Albania, where he works as an engineer. "They went there to live their dream which has turned into a nightmare.
"We encouraged her – these were their first jobs and it sounded great. Roxanne went for it and she was very happy there.
"She said she loved her job, loved her clients but unfortunately in Sharjah to love seems to be a crime."
An appeal in the case is due to be heard on Sunday.
