A judge who allowed a migrant convicted for drug dealing, sexual assault and carrying a knife has been revealed as a former executive for a pro-asylum charity.
Fiona Beach deemed that Christian Quadjovie, 26, was not a threat to the British public.
The French-born criminal has spent over 963 days behind bars in UK prisons since arriving into Britain at the age of ten.

However, Ms Beach was revealed by The Sun to be a former director at Asylum Aid, a charity that provides free legal representation for migrants on behalf of the Bail for Immigration Detainees group.
The judge was a director of Asylum Aid between September 2004 and February 2007.
Ms Beach stepped back from role after being made a part-time judge in December 2006, judicial sources have claimed.
She was also listed in the Bail for Immigration's annual report in 2005 and 2007 in a section labelled "thank you", where she was named as a volunteer barrister.
Home Office lawyers said that Ms Beach's judgement was made 'against the weight of evidence'
| PAIn Ms Beach's tribunal decision explaining her reasoning in allowing Quadjovie to remain in the UK, it states: "The appellant had some support in the UK in the form of family support, potential access to education and public funds and access to housing assistance yet found himself involved with gangs and drug dealing.
"The concern would be whether the appellant would slip back in to the same way of earning money which he did in the UK, i.e. drug dealing.
"There is a real risk that this would occur again as a young man in France with few ties, no accommodation, no qualifications other than a GCSE in French and no employment experience on which to rely."
However, Home Office lawyers said that Ms Beach's judgement was made "against the weight of evidence" and has since been overturned.

Quadjovie's first conviction in Britain came at just 12 years old, after he sexually assaulted a girl who was under the age of 13.
At the age of 17, he was handed a nine-month referral order after being caught carrying a knife in public.
Months later, he was convicted of dealing Class A drugs in Salisbury.
In a letter seen by The Sun on Sunday, Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick has formally requested the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office to examine whether Ms Beach had declared her previous position.

| HOUSE OF COMMONSMr Jenrick said: “This is the latest example of an immigration judge with open borders views.
“The similarity between her decisions and the political views she has broadcast totally undermines confidence in the system.
"Judges must be independent.”
A spokesman for the judiciary said: “In each case, judges make decisions based on the evidence and arguments presented, and apply the law as it stands.”
