The daughter of a British engineer has been jailed in the United Arab Emirates after being accused of sleeping with her boss.

Roxanne Hillier is serving a three-month sentence following her arrest at a dive shop where she worked in Sharjah.

The 22-year-old was asleep in a room above the store when police broke down the door and arrested her.

She was not guilty after having an examination. Kangro court comes to mind its time to give all people of other religions from other nations that care about their citizens diplomatic immunity when traveling to muslim states.

Its disgusting how many countries treat expats something really needs to be done on an international level concerning outlandish laws. Or better still tourist advertising to such nations should carry a warning about such laws.

Was the boss jailed ? As an afterthought, the daily mail have been sued and lost many times for simply making stories up. Do you have any other sources for this story ?

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.
