When You Can’t Get A Date In Your Own Country…
…without taking the chance of being put to death, maybe rejection makes you crazy enough to beat the crap out of the object of your lust so he won’t tell your brother you violated Sharia law:
UAE sheikh to stand trial for ’sexually motivated’ assault
The brother of the ruler of the United Arab Emirates, one of the richest men in the world, is to stand trial in Switzerland for an alleged assault on an Italian-American businessman in the bar of an exclusive Geneva hotel [four years ago].
. . .
[Silvano Orsi], 39, claims that he was repeatedly attacked after refusing homosexual advances from [37-year-old Sheikh Falah bin Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan] and has since been unable to work because of his injuries. The sheikh, in evidence to a pre-trial closed hearing last year, claimed that he merely had a 30-second scuffle after he was accused of being gay.
. . .
Mr Orsi, of Rochester, New York, says he was having a late evening drink with a Saudi friend when the sheikh sent over an unsolicited bottle of champagne. It remained unopened on the table and a few minutes later, according to Mr Orsi, the shiekh came over and accosted him. When he resisted, the sheikh attacked him and beat him savagely his belt.
Despite the sheikh’s bodyguards trying to intervene Mr Orsi says the assault continued as he retreated to the reservation desk. He says he sustained a herniated disc, nerve damage in his right leg and post-traumatic stress disorder. Before he left the hotel, Mr Orsi says, the Emirate’s consul in Geneva arrived at the hotel and offered him €13,000 to keep quiet.
