Dubai sex-trade ring boss held by police after BBC investigation

Charles Mwesigwa, also known locally as Abbey, the alleged leader of a degrading sex-trade ring exploiting vulnerable women in Dubai’s upscale neighborhoods, has been detained in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The arrest follows a BBC investigation that exposed Mwesigwa’s operations, including his admission to an undercover reporter that he could provide women for sex parties starting at $1,000 (£750). Mwesigwa, a former London bus driver, claimed the women could perform “pretty much everything” clients desired.
