Sick paedo who attacked teen girl allowed to stay in UK because he is an alcoholic after appealing to woke EU court
A PAEDO who attacked a teen girl was allowed to stay in the UK because he is an alcoholic.
The brute, from Pakistan, targeted the child after he had been released from prison for other sex crimes.
The Home Office issued him with a deportation order, but — while jailed for a year for assaulting the teenager — he appealed it using the European Convention of Human Rights.
He won the right to stay after a judge ruled he would face “inhuman or degrading treatment” in his home country due to his “uncontrollable” boozing.
The man, granted anonymity for his protection, argued he could not seek help for his alcoholism in Pakistan, where drinking alcohol as a Muslim is illegal.
He claimed jail conditions were so bad there that his deportation was a violation of his right to avoid inhumane treatment.
And he also argued he should be able to stay because he had a “genuine relationship” with his child in the UK, even though they had not spoken since 2020.
That was rejected as the judge found there was a “lack of evidence” about his family life.
The Home Office last week won an appeal and the case will be heard again later this year.
Tory MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke said: “The Government needs to stop dangerous criminals being allowed to stay in this country.”
