Maldives gone wild II
And outside of Josh Kerr winning regular events at the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, that glorious island nation is best known for blue water, luxury, white sand, peace and quiet but something is shaking, some electric pulse floating on the coconut-scented wind. Some untethered, unhinged business and wow.
It’s Maldives gone wild.
Yesterday, we learned about an an alleged ISIS recruiter from either Syria or Afghanistan who won the jackpot with his Maldives posting and celebrated by going on a stabbing spree, injuring one Australian and two Chinese.
Today, we have the story of a bikini-clad British tourist arrested for “indecent exposure” while on the beach screaming, “You’re sexually assaulting me!” at her captors.
Please watch here
And what a fun scene. According to the Daily Mail:
The chief of police in the Maldives has apologised after a bikini-clad British tourist screamed ‘you’re sexually assaulting me’ as she was manhandled and arrested.
Footage of the arrest shows three men grappling with the woman and trying to put her in handcuffs as she attempted to fight them off yesterday evening.
Another man covered part of her body with a towel as she was led away in front of a crowd of people on the island of Maafushi, in the Kaafu atoll.
Police commissioner Mohamed Hameed said an ‘incident in which our officers restrained a female tourist seems to be badly handled’.
‘I apologise to the tourist and the public for this. The challenge I have taken up is to professionalise the police service and we are working on that,’ he said.
The woman was arrested for ‘indecent exposure’ but the incident is now under investigation.
A few things.
Is the woman’s bikini indecent? I don’t think so at all and find it very stylish a la Sean Connery in Zardoz.
But… why does she try to remove one of the arresting officers wrap around sunglasses? That seems rude and uncalled for. A man’s sunglasses are his pride and to have them removed, either via pluck or semi-closed knuckle slap, is not cool.
Lastly, none of the men appear to have “sexual” motives here. Can an assault just be an assault or do we live in a day an age where that is no longer possible?
More as the story develops.

Looks like that British lady assaulted that police officer by yanking his glasses off. Not a good idea to assault police officers in foreign countries, or any country for that matter.
I am from Maldives.. We dont think it is indecent.. Every tourists are asked to not wear bikini around the area where locals live.. you can wear bikini on the beach.. but when you walk around the island at least wear an oversized shirt or something that can cover up the body.. she refused to follow what was told to do a couple of times and got arrested.. this article is very misinformed
Isn’t it true an Italian porn star sailed around the Maldives some time in the second half of the 20th Century and made a porn movie with a bunch of Maldivian fishermen or something and the government freaked out and closed the islands to outsiders?
I think Tony Hussein-Hynde told me that.
The sunglasses were Maui Jim Voyagers. Can’t buy them anymore even on EBay so people go to the Maldives to steal them from cops.
They’re that good.
Perhaps they wished to apply this remedy? https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Respect other cultures when you’re in their back yard. They should have shot her.
And everyone wonders why I don’t want to surf with other chicks. Especially in Muslim nations where for some fucking reason I’ve survived and thrived without ever need using the term, “You are sexually assulting me.” Face-palm.
Yeah nah they don’t..face-palm.
If you wondering out aloud makes two then that’s the ceiling sweetheart.
Does that mean that Ashton Goggins would get arrested for taking his shirt off. “Cover up those man boobs”
Let’s face it, it isn’t the most attractive of bikini styles, is it dear?
The style and hands on hips masculine posture screams redneck
She’s from the UK. So thus a ‘Chav’ or perhaps Chavette. But yeah. redneck equivalent.
Nice to see you back here too!!!
Apex predators
Maybe they were concerned for her skin safety – cover up before the british shade of pale turned to lobster red? Shoulders just starting to go……..

Wonder how this stunning and brave lady would have dealt with the “handsy” tropical Sunni cops? I’d say more than the shades would be damaged. These ads are getting funnier each day.
So there we have it. Life IS better in boardshorts.
Nice bum, but it’s on when she takes his glasses off as far as I’m concerned.
Totally uncalled for.
