Jamaican rapist avoids deportation on human rights grounds as criminal record in UK means he is not eligible for witness protection in Caribbean

A Jamaican rapist has escaped deportation because his criminal record in Britain means he “might not be eligible for witness protection” in his home country.

The convicted sex attacker, entered the program on the Caribbean island as a child because his mother testified about a murder committed by a gang leader.

He later relocated to the UK, where he was sent to prison multiple times for rape, unlawful wounding and burglaries.

And shockingly despite his awful offending the press are banned from naming him- even though a judge has allowed him to remain in Britain. 

The Home Office tried to deported because of these convictions but he appealed on the grounds that this criminal record would mean he would not be allowed back into witness protection in Jamaica.

His argument was initially dismissed but has now been allowed by an immigration tribunal on human rights grounds meaning the criminal will be allowed to remain in the UK.

The Upper-tier Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber at Field House in London, was told the sex offender entered the UK in 2001 as a visitor.

As a child his mother was a police informant for many years and aided the conviction and imprisonment of a gang leader for murder as the prosecution’s main witness during the trial.
