Breaking News: Epping Hotel Asylum Seeker Jailed for Sex Crimes Hadush Kebatu, a 25-year-old asylum seeker from Ethiopia, has been sentenced to one year in prison for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl and a woman. The crimes took place on July 7-8 at an Epping hotel. The judge described the victim's experience as "disgusting and sickening", stating that Kebatu posed a significant risk of reoffending. The victim, who was wearing school uniform at the time, said in a statement: "Every time I go out with my friends, I am checking over my shoulder." Kebatu was found guilty of two sexual assaults, harassment, inciting the girl to engage in sexual activity, and an attempted sexual assault. His arrest led to protests outside The Bell Hotel, where he was staying. The Home Office will now seek to deport Kebatu following his prison sentence. His barrister, Molly Dyas, said: "Mr Kebatu's firm wish is to be deported as soon as possible."
