Sex on the beach Brits appeal

Dubai prosecutors have appealed against the ‘lenient’ 3 month prison terms given to ‘sex on the beach’ Brit duo Michelle Palmer and Vince Acors, meaning the couple could find themselves sentenced to even longer when their appeal is heard on November 18. Out on bail, the pair’s plight worsened as a new study of 1,000 Brits abroad revealed that more than one in four have had sex on a beach, with more than one in three under 30s (36%) doing the same.

“The Dubai case has attracted worldwide media attention, but this survey goes to show that the practice is far from unusual,” study chief Andrew Gibson, director of DirectHolidayBookings.com commented. “The consequences of having sex on a public beach are obviously far more serious somewhere like Dubai than they would be in a European country, If you can’t resist alfresco whilst on holiday, then perhaps renting a private holiday home is the best way to avoid getting caught,” he urged.

Brits abroad portal ShelterOffshore.com, meanwhile, published a detailed guide to dealing with Dubai cops this week, which warned that even kissing in public can result in ‘a very tough time potentially’, with local police also unusually easy to offend. “Never ever, ever display any form of negative attitude in front of a police officer. You must remain subservient, utterly polite and humble at all times if you want to stand a chance of a positive outcome to the situation,” the site warned.
