Sex-on-beach Briton re-arrested

Vince Acors, 34, of Bromley, south-east London, was due arrive at Heathrow on Tuesday morning following his deportation from the Gulf state.
But he was detained at Dubai Airport and returned to jail as his flight confirmation was allegedly "not in order".
Acors and Michelle Palmer, 36, of Oakham, Rutland, were initially given three-month jail terms for unmarried sex and public indecency, but these were suspended on appeal.
He had been due to return last Friday but a hold up in the deportation process meant he was unable to board a Heathrow-bound plane and spent the weekend in jail.
His lawyer Andrew Crossley said: "The return of Vince Acors has been delayed yet again and he will not be returning to the UK. The situation is close to becoming farcical and Vince is severely disappointed.
"After having booked and confirmed his return flight on three separate occasions through the course of the day Vince was re-arrested at Dubai Airport, as his flight confirmation was allegedly not in order. He has been returned to jail, his precise return is now unknown."
Acors and Palmer were seen having sex on Jumeirah Beach in the early hours of July 5 after meeting at a champagne brunch in a five-star hotel.
They had denied having unmarried sex and public indecency but admitted being drunk.
Palmer, who was working in Dubai as a publishing executive, was sacked after the allegations emerged. Acors had been visiting the country at the time.
