A Bahraini driver and his Filipina girlfriend each received a month's prison sentence for having sex in a public place. The 29-year-old from Ma'ameer was handed an additional month's sentence for illegally entering his girlfriend's house without the permission of her sponsor, and having sex with her there. The housemaid, aged 25, also received another month's sentence for assisting him to enter the house without her sponsor's knowledge and for an illegitimate purpose.
The sponsor, a good and wealthy Bahraini, was held harmless of course. | The verdict was delivered at the Lower Criminal Court on January 25 and the couple had been in police custody since January 18.
"I met the Filipina housemaid about a year ago and since that time we became good friends and started going out together almost every week," the Bahraini driver of a gas cylinder supply company said in his police statement. "I had sex with her in a proper way with her consent at midnight most of the times.
"She used to open the door of the house for me and take me to her bedroom where we used to have sex together while her sponsor was sleeping. Twice I had sex with her in the morning time because there was no one in the house.
"Many times I had sex with her near the beach area in my car and I also took her many times to hotels and had sex with her after booking a room for us there."
Strapping young lad and a healthy young woman, what's the prob --- oh, right this is Bahrain. | The Bahraini said he met the Filipina about a year ago when he delivered a gas cylinder to her sponsor's house and later asked her out.
"I thought you were the lady of the house!"
"I thought you were the milkman!" | On January 18 they were arrested by police patrol who caught them "hugging and kissing" in the 29-year-old's car, which was parked near the beach at Al Halat in Muharraq. "I admit I made a mistake and I also used to give her BD2 sometimes," added the driver.
The housemaid in her statement said she was "simply chatting" when the police car arrived and arrested them and she did not have sex with her boyfriend that night. |
