Epping hotel asylum seeker jailed after sexually assaulting woman and 14-year-old girl

A lawyer for Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, originally from Ethopia, told the court that he wants to be deported.

Legally he must be deported having got a sentence of 12 months after attempting to persuade a 14-year old girl, who offered him a slice of pizza, to come back to his hotel to make a baby with him.

But the government is having problems deporting anyone at the moment so maybe Mr Kebatu will not get his wish. 

Instead his likelihood of re-offending remains high if he remains in the UK and is out there at 3pm 'watching as the frilly panties run' as Jethro Tull memorably put it on the album Aqualung.

It's a mystery why the system wants to pay for him to be in prison for a year and doesn't just deport him now, if that's what he wants, especially as this would probably be cheaper and he might not be expecting a welcome party waiting for him in prison?
