Sex on beach man re-arrested

(23 December 2008)

A man convicted of having sex on a beach in Dubai has been re-arrested before boarding a flight to the UK, his lawyer has said.

Vince Acors, 34, of Bromley, London, was detained at the airport and returned to jail.

His flight confirmation was allegedly "not in order".

It is now not clear when he will be able to return to the UK.

Acors and Michelle Palmer of Oakham, Rutland, were arrested on Jumeirah Beach on 5 July, hours after meeting at a champagne brunch.

The pair received a fine and were sentenced to three months in jail in October.
