Dubai: A man has been sentenced to two years in jail in Dubai over charges of raping a woman after they met on a social media platform.
According to the Dubai Court of First Instance, the 24-year-old expatriate woman met the defendant in April last year on SnapChatt. After months of chatting, the duo decided to meet in July last year at a hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road.
The woman claimed that both of them had consumed alcohol before the defendant asked the woman to join his friends at a villa in Jumeirah Village Circle.
