A QUEENSLAND woman spent eight months in a United Arab Emirates jail for adultery after complaining to police about being drugged and raped by co-workers.
Alicia Gali, 29, yesterday detailed her harrowing ordeal after filing a Queensland lawsuit against the five-star international resort where the attack allegedly took place in 2008.

Warning other women against going to the UAE, Ms Gali said she endured eight months in a crowded prison room with up to 30 other women after she complained to authorities of being raped.

Read the rest of her harrowing story of being drugged and then gang-raped and then jailed for it here:

I know this took place in neighboring UAE, but does this happen here too?

I dont see anything unbelievable in that story and I agree with the comments of Uranus.

I don't think it happens in Qatar much, because most women know if they went to the police to report a rape, they too would be arrested.

Most people have heard stories about friends being sexually assaulted by locals and they know that the police will always believe the national over the ex-pat.

Yes, she must be lying because all women secretly enjoy having sex with multiple strangers at the same time.

For those of you who are to stupid to realize--this means you Rizzo--I am being sarcastic).

It happens here a great deal.

Most rapes are probably not reported.

Sentences for rapists are typically light.

The assumption is typically that the woman is lying or 'asked for it' if she is an expat.

The attitudes of people like s_isale and imtiaz4u above are a big reason why.

So what are saying she faked the rape?

There is a medical report and three of the men were also jailed (not for rape but adultery).
