A court in Abu Dhabi sentenced a European woman to one year in prison after she was found guilty of promoting vice on social networks by publishing obscene pictures of herself, newspapers reported on Wednesday.

Police decided to stalk the woman after noticing she was publishing obscene photographs of herself on Facebook and Instagram to lure customers.

A police undercover contacted the woman and asked for her mobile phone number, the papers said, adding that she gave him a date.

“When the woman came at the appointed time, police undercover gave her money. She was caught red-handed when accepting the money,” the Arabic language daily Emarat Alyoum said, adding that the court also ordered her deported from the UAE.
