A Bangladeshi sex offender branded a 'dangerous sexual predator' by the High Court was allowed to stay in Britain after the asylum court ruled he didn't pose a threat to the public.

The asylum seeker carried out a 'violent' sexual assault on a young woman who was found crying and with ripped clothing having been attacked by him, an immigration court was told.

The man in his late 20s - described as 'unremorseful and unreformed' - is also strongly suspected of carrying out a string of other sex attacks on strangers.

And in 2023 the asylum seeker - who was granted anonymity - was also jailed for three years for being part of two major class A drugs gangs.

The Home Office tried to deport him following his drugs conviction but he appealed the decision.
