But what should one do when an individual offers a full-body massage at home or even at an illegal and unlicensed centre? Will the woman or the men found distributing such literature if they can be called that face any penalties? Colonel Jamal Al Jallaf, Deputy Director of the General Department of Criminal Investigation at Dubai Police confirmed that the act of promoting such services through ads that contain nude pictures of women and their telephone numbers are illegal. What usually happens when residents fall into such traps?
Soliciting the services of such dubious massage centres have led to such incidents in the past. The clients who fall into these illegal traps have no information on these girls except the phone number that they give out in the flyers and visiting cards. So, when they become victims of crime, they have no way of tracking these culprits.
Why it is better to immediately report such crimes to the police? Al Jallaf says that victims of such crimes and others who receive offers for similar services should inform the police immediately because the police officials deal with these reports very seriously.
How does DED monitor people who solicit such services? On the other hand Omar Bu Shahab, Executive Director of Commercial Compliance and Consumer Protection at the DED said that the department monitored the girls who are involved in such activities and as well the recipients of such offers.
He confirmed that pursuing such activities is a crime as the distribution of cards with nude images is a crime as well. Bu Shahab explained that there is comprehensive and complete cooperation between the DED and the Dubai Police in solving such crimes.
