New York, July 3 : A Lebanese national was reportedly jailed in Dubai for wearing T-shirt showing Victoria Beckham in the nude.

According to the Telegraph, Raffi Nernekian, whose brother says he bought the shirt during a visit to New York, got into an argument with a local over the shirt and was jailed for a month for "offending public decency."

The skin cancer awareness T-shirt features a naked Beckham, who is discreetly hidden by the phrase "Protect the skin your in," reports the New York Daily News.

Nernekian works for a brand manager for local agents of designer Marc Jacobs, who designed the shirts benefiting a cancer research program at New York University.
