BEACH-SEX COUPLE TO BE DEPORTED!
Two Britons found guilty of having sex on a Dubai beach are to be deported without serving any jail sentence.
Michelle Palmer, 36, of Oakham, Rutland, and Vince Acors, 34, of Bromley, south-east London, had appealed against their convictions.
They were caught on Jumeirah Beach on 5 July and fined £170 and sentenced to three months in prison in October.
But, following the appeal, Acors's solicitor has said they will be returning to the homes in the UK.
Hassan Matter, who represented the couple in court, said: "They are free. It's wonderful.
"The judge gave us a good hearing because he has a good heart and a good brain. He understood everything."
Palmer and Acors were found guilty of unmarried sex and public indecency at Dubai's Court of First Instance.
The pair were arrested on the beach hours after meeting at a champagne brunch.
Palmer was sacked from her job in Dubai as a publishing executive after her arrest. Acors was visiting the emirate on holiday.
Prosecutors told Dubai's Court of Appeal the pair's punishment was too "small".
