It was a case of a Filipina taking advantage of a fellow Filipina.
According to a report of the news site Emirates 24/7 on Thursday, a Pakistani driver and a Filipina maid were each sentenced to three years in jail for human trafficking, running a brothel and forcing women into prostitution.
The 31-year-old Pakistani was also charged guilty of raping the victim.
Court records said a 31-year-old Filipina maid communicated via Facebook with a fellow Filipina, 33, encouraging her to go to the UAE and promising her a job as a saleswoman.
After obtaining a visit visa and arriving in the UAE, the older Filipina was confined in a residence and forced into prostitution under threat.
The prostitution victim said the Filipina maid seized her passport and asked her to pay back Dh20,000 for her visit visa to the UAE.
The report said the victim later managed to escape and report the crime to the Philippine Consulate.
The police was then called in to raid the flat where the Filipina maid and the Pakistani driver were staying.
The report said the two convicts will be deported to their countries after serving their jail terms.
