A BBC World Service investigation has uncovered an alleged sex-trafficking network operating in Dubai’s most affluent districts, linked to a Ugandan national, Charles Mwesigwa.Mwesigwa, who claims he once worked as a London bus driver, was secretly filmed offering to provide women for sex parties at a starting price of USD 1,000 (about UGX 3.8 million/£740). He told an undercover reporter that many of the women in his network were willing to do “pretty much everything” clients requested.The probe revealed that young Ugandan women were among those lured to the United Arab Emirates under false pretenses. Several said they believed they were traveling for legitimate jobs in supermarkets or hotels, only to be coerced into sex work.One survivor, identified only as Mia for her protection, described degrading encounters, including a client who requested to defecate on the women. “We didn’t know this is what we were being taken for,” she said.The revelations echo the disturbing rumours tied to the viral hashtag #DubaiPortaPotty, which has amassed more than 450 million views on TikTok. While much of the online trend has been dismissed as parody or speculation, the BBC investigation suggests the reality may be far darker.The network has also been linked to tragedy. At least two Ugandan women associated with Mwesigwa reportedly died after falling from high-rise apartments in Dubai. Their deaths were ruled suicides, but relatives and friends insist police should have conducted deeper investigations.Mwesigwa has denied the allegations, insisting that he merely helps women secure accommodation through landlords and that they attend parties voluntarily because of his wealthy social connections in Dubai. He urged journalists to seek clarification from Dubai police, who have not responded to the BBC’s requests for comment.Human rights groups say the case highlights the vulnerability of Ugandan women seeking employment abroad, where traffickers often exploit poverty and desperation. Critics are calling on both Kampala and Dubai authorities to step up efforts to protect migrant workers and dismantle trafficking networks.As social media continues to amplify the shocking “Porta Potty” trend, the BBC’s exposé underscores the urgent need for serious investigations into what has long been dismissed as rumour.The post Investigation Unmasks Ugandan Man Behind Alleged Sex-Trafficking Ring In Dubai appeared first on The Insider.
