A transsexual waiter in Dubai is facing six months jail after he posted photos of his enlarged breasts on Facebook, and encouraged men to have sex with him for Dh 1,000.

The Dubai Court of First Instance convicted the 30-year-old Filipino waiter, called M.J., of cross-dressing and encouraging men to commit a sin by having sex with him.

Presiding Judge Al Saeed Mohammad Barghout said the accused will be deported after serving his sentence.

When the accused appeared in court, he admitted that he enlarged his breasts, posted his semi-nude photos on Facebook and solicited men to have sex with him.

“Yes I am guilty as charged,” Gulf News quoted M.J. as admitting when he appeared in court.

An undercover police team had arrested him in a sting operation for posing as a male prostitute.

An Emirati policeman testified that an informant alerted them that the defendant promoted himself as a prostitute and charged men Dh 1,000 for a night of sex.

The informant arranged for a meeting with the defendant as part of a sting operation, and they met in a hotel in Naif.

Police raided the lobby and arrested M.J. while he was heading up to the room for the purpose of the deal.

Prosecutors said the waiter worked as a male prostitute, misused the internet [Facebook social network] to post indecent photos of himself so he could entice men to have sex with him.

He was additionally charged with cross-dressing, and the judgment remains subject to appeal within 15 days.
