Eleven Ukrainian women and a Russian male photographer have reportedly been arrested over the naked photoshoot on a Dubai balcony — as raunchy photos emerged of some of the participants.

Among the charges the group faces is public debauchery for allegedly violating the country’s uber-strict decency laws, the BBC said.

The penalty for the rap is up to six months behind bars and a fine of nearly $1,500.

The hoopla erupted after more than a dozen nude models were photographed standing on a high-rise apartment balcony in the United Arab Emirates city — with salacious snaps of the sexy lineup hitting social media Saturday night and causing a stir.

Some of the models are tattooed social-media sexpots known to pose in barely-there bikinis amid glittering cityscapes.

The Ukrainian consulate confirmed to the BBC that 11 of its female citizens were detained in the UAE roundup over the steamy balcony photoshoot.

A Russian man who organized the scene — taking footage from a nearby balcony — was arrested, too, the Sun reported, citing Russian news outlets.
