The Dubai government said the public prosecutor had closed the case against the 25-year-old woman after examining a video on the mobile phone of one of two British suspects and concluding the act was consensual.

“All three parties involved in the case are in the process of receiving their passports and are free to leave the UAE,” a statement from the Dubai government said.
