An accountant and a maid, who met in a disco and had sex three times in the sea at Jumeirah open beach, have each been jailed for a year.

Presiding Judge Mohammad Ahmad Shoaib ordered the duo to be deported following the completion of their jail terms.

The couple were arrested, when the Filipina maid MM, was found pregnant by her Emirati sponsor, who informed police.

MM, 26, testified that she met the 25-year old Pakistani accountant at a disco in Karama and became friends. “Later our friendship developed into a love affair.”

Prosecutors accused GI and MM of having consensual and unprotected sex which led to the maid's pregnancy.

She added: “he took me out to Jumeirah open beach… I swam with him for a while before we had consensual sex inside the ocean. We had unprotected intercourse… We did that three times on different occasions."
