Ayman Najafi, 24, and Charlotte Adams, 26, deny indecency charges, saying they pecked each other on the cheek as a greeting in the restaurant in the city's Jumeirah Beach Residence complex in November."

"The couple were arrested after a 38-year-old local woman reported their behaviour at Bob's Easy Diner on November 27 at 2am.
