The British woman, who was convicted of indecency for kissing a man in Dubai, gave up the battle to prove her innocence and went to jail. Charlotte Adams went to jail because she could no longer afford to fight the case or waste any more time stuck in Dubai, where her passport was taken away pending the outcome of the case. She was allegedly seen passionately kissing Ayman Najafi, who works for a consultancy firm, in a diner at the Jumeirah Beach Residence. They were both awarded one-month prison sentences last month for breaching strict public decency laws. The pair lost an appeal last month against their convictions. " Charlotte didn't have the time or resources to appeal again. It's not an admission of guilt. She just had no chance - if she had an income and resources she would have fought on," the Telegraph quoted Najafi as saying.
