Asylum seeker, 24, who 'fooled' authorities into thinking he was a child jailed for groping teenage girl on train while on bail for another sex attack

Meron Habtu, a 24-year-old Eritrean asylum seeker who illegally entered the UK in 2020, was recently jailed for groping a teenage girl on a train. He had previously deceived authorities into believing he was a child. This incident highlights the serious issue of sexual assaults occurring even among those who are on bail for other sexual offenses, raising concerns about oversight and the treatment of asylum seekers. His actions underscore the need for stricter measures to ensure public safety and accountability.
