A British tourist has been jailed for six months for taking pictures up women's skirts at a shopping centre in Dubai.

The 28-year-old electrician, whose name was not released under Dubai court rules, this week admitted placing his mobile phone in a shopping basket and using it to take voyeuristic pictures while on an escalator in a supermarket at the Mall of the Emirates in May.

The man, believed to be from the north London area, was detained when female shoppers complained to mall security staff, Dubai's Criminal Court of First Instance heard.

He's lucky he didn't do that in Saudi Arabia. They cut off body parts there.

Sky News also had an article but I would have been required to excerpt it. Below is a picture from Sky News.


The mall is one of the biggest in the Middle East

After they determine who gets possession of the photos.

I've had it with those damn kinky British electricians. He should be electrocuted for plain poor taste in trying to photograph the muzzie muff.

If he tries it in Saudi Arabia or one of the garden spots of sharia law, maybe it will be just the removal of the goolies!

See, if he had been taking pics of little boys and goats, he would’ve gotten a high-five by the locals.

"The man, believed to be from the north London area...

A source said identities of defendants convicted in Dubai are only made public if police see fit."

Home of the North London Central Mosque, whose former imam, al-Masri ("Cap'n Hook"), is serving time on terror charges. I bet the tourist wasn't named Charles or John.
