Prosecutor Pamela Muniya told the court that it is likely that the Indian national will be detained and face deportation.
It comes amid revelations that asylum hotel operators were told by the Home Office to house foreign criminals at their establishments.
Official guidance obtained through freedom of information requests shows that accommodation providers must "acknowledge and agree" that some residents may be "ex-foreign national offender[s] released on criminal bail".
Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, told The Telegraph: "At last we're beginning to learn the truth that has been withheld from us for so long.
Nigel Farage said 'no wonder local residents are deeply fearful of the young men in these hotels'

"In my opinion, none of them should be free to walk the streets.
"The Government tries to hide the truth from us all the time, but piece by piece - as with this story - we are beginning to learn the full story, we are beginning to learn the full scale of the horror."
A spokesman for the Home Office said: "This guidance was produced under the previous government and reflects the conditions of the asylum estate as they stood in 2019.
"The current Government is working in partnership with local authorities and communities to address legitimate concerns about the inherited asylum system, including their safety, while successfully removing 5,200 foreign national offenders in its first year, a 14 per cent increase."
