Asylum seeker, 24, who fooled authorities into thinking he was a child so he could live with a family in the UK is jailed for groping teenage girl – while on bail for another sex attack

A ‘predatory’ asylum seeker who groped a teenage girl on a train after being freed on bail for another sexual assault has been jailed for a year.

Meron Habtu came to the UK illegally from Eritrea in 2020 and ‘fooled’ the authorities into thinking he was a child so he could be placed with a host family, when he was actually 24.

A year later he sexually assaulted a drunk woman after ‘pestering’ females coming out of bars and nightclubs.
