A judge said Hadush Kebatu posed a ‘significant risk of reoffending’ after his offences sparked protests outside asylum hotels across the UK

Ethiopian national Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, who arrived in the UK on a small boat days before the incidents, was found guilty of five offences following a three-day trial.

Ethiopian national Hadush Kebatu, 41, tried to kiss a schoolgirl before groping a woman who came to her aid. It sparked a huge anti-migrant demonstration in Epping, Essex.
