This is the 18 year old lad who had a holiday romance with a 17 year old girl in Dubai. She was just short of 18.

her parents found out and reported him to the Dubai authorities before he returned home.

his poor parents aren’t well off and had to return home to work leaving him there.

he’s now been sentenced to 1 year in prison.

aibu to think this poor boy should never have been brought before court.

His poor parents. That’s tragic.

He was a passenger in a car which crashed whilst failing to stop for the police. The vehicle evaded a police car and crashed. The driver has been arrested.
Tragic for his poor parents.
