25-year-old man from Sudan identified as ‘JS’, was given a 4-year sentence in 2008 after luring 13 and 14-year-old schoolgirls to a house for sex but he remained behind bars when his sentence came to an end.
The foreign criminal jailed for sex offences is to receive damages after a court ruled he had been held for too long while ministers tried to kick him out of Britain.
The Court of Appeal ruled that eight months of his detention was ‘unreasonable and unlawful’. He claimed he could not be deported because he was a member of the persecuted Zaghawa tribe from Darfur. His family were subjected to intolerable treatment by the majority population of the area, he said.
