It's rather surprising that the man is being convicted. Maybe it was because it's against an American soldier. The UAE is not above convicting rape victims for adultery.

Yes I saw this. I'm so very proud of her. I think the main reason he is being prosecuted is because he admitted to drinking an alcohol, which is illegal in the UAE.

It's not actually illegal, seeing as there's bars and liquor stores. Though there are still some strict restrictions placed, such as needing a liquor store licence and not drinking outside the house or bar.

You know, with all these stories about rape and the media defending the rapists, it's nice to read a story about the woman just laying that guy's ass out and beating him into submission.
