A Dubai "Porta-Potty" boss, Charles Mwesigwa, has been detained by police over allegations of running a sex trafficking ring exploiting vulnerable women. Mwesigwa, who claims to be a former London bus driver, is accused of operating a horrific sex ring in one of Dubai's most glamorous neighbourhoods. While the exact charges Mwesigwa faces in the UAE remain unclear, a Dubai law firm confirmed to the BBC that he is currently held at the Central Prison Centre in Al Awir, Dubai. These disturbing events, reportedly hosted by wealthy individuals, lure young models and influencers with promises of hefty cash payments, extravagant gifts, and stays in luxury hotels. The hashtag #Dubaiportapotty, viewed more than 450 million times on TikTok, reveals how some influencers are funding their lifestyles by fulfilling extreme sexual requests, reports the Mirror . Mwesigwa told an undercover reporter that he could supply women for sex parties for £750, claiming many can do "pretty much everything" clients desire. Some women thought they were travelling to the UAE for jobs in hotels or supermarkets, but were left horrified when asked to perform these acts. One of Mwesigwa's clients regularly demands to defecate on the women. Two women associated with Mwesigwa have died after falling from high-rise flats. The deaths of Monic Karungi and Kayla Birungi were ruled as suicides, but their families are calling for further police investigation. One of the deceased women believed she was travelling to Dubai from Uganda for a supermarket job. However, according to one woman's account, she ended up living in a flat with dozens of other women working for Mr Mwesigwa. "[His] place was like a market... There were like 50 girls. She was not happy because what she expected is not what she got," Mia, who was informed by Risa, Monic's sister, told the BBC. "He [Mr Mwesigwa] became violent when I expressed my desire to return home." She alleges that upon her arrival, he informed her that she was already in debt to him for £2,000, a sum that had doubled within a fortnight. "Money for air tickets, for your visa, for where you're sleeping, food," the woman explained. "That means you have to work hard, hard, hard, pleading for men to come and sleep [with] you." Another woman shared with reporters that she felt "trapped" within his network. Mr Mwesigwa refutes these allegations. The accused insists that he assists women in finding accommodation, and that women attend parties with him due to his affluent contacts.
