Warning: Contains disturbing content and graphic descriptions of sexual acts
A man running a sex ring operating out of Dubai's most glamorous neighbourhoods, and exploiting vulnerable women, has been identified by a BBC investigation.
Charles Mwesigwa, who claims to be a former London bus driver, told undercover reporters he could provide women for sex parties starting from $1,000 (£740), stating that they are willing to cater to pretty much everything the clients desire.
Rumors surrounding wild sex parties in the UAE's emirate have circulated for years, with many associating them with the desires of wealthy influencers. However, the reality presented by this investigation is far darker.
Many young Ugandan women were misled into believing they would find legitimate work in supermarkets or hotels, only to be forced into sex work upon arrival.
The abuses faced by the women include extreme sexual acts, with reports of clients with severe fetishes, as one woman shared horrifying experiences of being coerced into extreme activities.
Tragically, two women connected to Mwesigwa's enterprise have died under suspicious circumstances, falling from high-rise buildings, raising serious questions about the safety and oversight of migrant workers in Dubai.
The investigation also revealed that many women like Monic Karungi faced devastating debts to Mwesigwa, with claims she owed over $27,000 (£19,918) after just a few weeks of exploitation.
Despite Mwesigwa's denials of wrongdoing and claims that the women choose to follow him, numerous accounts from victims paint a very different picture of coercion and violence.
As this investigation unfolds, it raises critical concerns about the role of law enforcement and the urgent need for protective measures for vulnerable populations at risk of such exploitation.
