Charles Mwesigwa, who claims to be a former London bus driver, has recently come under intense scrutiny after being accused of orchestrating a disturbing sex trafficking ring in one of Dubai’s glitziest neighborhoods. Known locally as the “Porta-Potty” boss, Mwesigwa is alleged to have exploited vulnerable women, luring them into a web of exploitation under the guise of glamorous parties and lucrative opportunities.
According to reports, Mwesigwa’s operation involves hosting exclusive gatherings for wealthy individuals, where young models and social media influencers are enticed with promises of generous cash payments, luxurious gifts, and stays at upscale hotels. The notorious hashtag #Dubaiportapotty, which has amassed over 450 million views on TikTok, sheds light on how some influencers have reportedly been involved in these extreme sexual activities as a means to maintain their lavish lifestyles.
Mwesigwa himself was caught on record telling an undercover reporter that he could provide women for sex parties at a fee of £750. He boldly claimed that many of these women could fulfill almost any request that clients had. Such revelations paint a grim picture of the depth of control and coercion involved in this ring.
The grim reality for many women trapped in this network is harrowing. Some arrived in the UAE under false pretenses, believing they were coming to work in legitimate jobs like hotels or supermarkets. Instead, they found themselves coerced into performing degrading acts. One of the more shocking testimonies revealed that a client frequently requested women to endure being defecated on, underscoring the severe abuse these women suffered.
Tragic outcomes have also been linked to this dark operation. Two women connected to Mwesigwa, Monic Karungi and Kayla Birungi, tragically died after falling from high-rise buildings. While both deaths were ruled suicides by authorities, their families have demanded further investigations amid suspicions about the circumstances leading to these fatalities.
One woman’s account reveals the despair faced by many involved. She came to Dubai from Uganda expecting a normal job but instead found herself living in an apartment crowded with dozens of other women working under Mwesigwa’s control. Describing the place as “like a market,” she expressed deep unhappiness and a desire to leave. When she voiced her intention to return home, Mwesigwa reportedly responded with violence and insisted she owed him £2,000—a debt that doubled within two weeks due to charges like airfare, visa costs, accommodation, and food.
This financial bondage left the women with grim choices, essentially forcing them to “work hard, hard, hard,” begging clients to pay for their survival. Another woman described feeling utterly “trapped” by the pervasive network, highlighting the lack of freedom and control these victims endure.
Despite the mounting accusations, Mwesigwa denies any wrongdoing. He claims to assist women by providing accommodation and insists that their participation at parties stems from his wealthy connections rather than coercion.
As the investigation unfolds, Mwesigwa remains in custody at the Central Prison Centre in Al Awir, Dubai, although the specific charges against him have not been publicly disclosed. The disturbing revelations surrounding these sex parties and trafficking allegations have raised critical questions about exploitation, victim protection, and justice in one of the world’s most affluent cities.
