A migrant who was allowed to stay in the UK under a ‘human rights law’ has been jailed for having sex with a teenager.
The 35-year-old was a serial offender and had accumulated multiple convictions.
He had previously lied about having no family in Africa, his native, and he had two children in an unstable relationship with an Albanian migrant.
In 2011, he was granted the chance to stay in the UK at an immigration tribunal after using the European Convention on Human rights as a defence, invoking his right to family life.
But just three years later he was locked up after his sordid sexual relationship with the teenager was revealed, according to The Sun.
He then served more time for wounding, carrying an imitation gun and having a knife.
While he was in prison he was told he would be deported, but had become a father to his second child – saving him from Britain’s boot as he invoked his right to respect for family life
The crook is from Zimbabwe and immigration judges have now agreed to return him.

The judge said: ‘His right to respect for his family is extremely heavily outweighed in this case by the need to protect the public from his likely very serious continued criminality.’
The migrant came to Yorkshire in 2006 as a defendant of his mother’s and soon started to turn to crime.
He lived in the UK for 18 years and was behind bars for eight and a half years for his sex and other crimes.
Reform MP Rupert Lowe said: ‘If you come here and commit serious crimes, you should be on the next plane home in cuffs.’
The Home Office said: ‘We remain resolute in our commitment to ensuring there are no barriers to deporting criminals.’
The Home Office was contacted for comment.
