DUBAI // A woman was spotted by police offering sex to passers-by in return for Dh50, Dubai Criminal Court was told.
On March 3 this year, officers from Naif police station arrested the Ugandan woman after observing her offering sexual services to men in the street.
Prosecutors said she gave a fake name to police but an eye scan revealed the woman was a 26-year-old who had been deported from the country but had illegally returned.
She confessed to prosecutors that she was an illegal immigrant and that she had been working as a prostitute.
In court on Thursday the woman only confessed to the prostitution charge.
A verdict is expected on July 14.

Hidden killer
Sepsis arises when the body tries to fight an infection but damages its own tissue and organs in the process.
The World Health Organisation estimates it affects about 30 million people each year and that about six million die.
Of those about three million are newborns and 1.2 are young children.
Patients with septic shock must often have limbs amputated if clots in their limbs prevent blood flow, causing the limbs to die.
Campaigners say the condition is often diagnosed far too late by medical professionals and that many patients wait too long to seek treatment, confusing the symptoms with flu.
