Asylum seekers have committed 708 alleged offences since 2021

Over 50 migrants staying in taxpayer-funded hotels in the UK have been accused of sex crimes.

Breaking the numbers down, 18 migrants have been charged with rape, five with attempted rape and 35 with sexual assault.


These figures make up a small fraction of 708 alleged criminal offences committed by at least 312 asylum seekers in the last three years.

A further 51 of these offences include theft, 89 for assault, with 27 of those allegedly targeting police or other emergency workers, 43 drug offences, 16 robberies and 18 burglaries.

A shocking 708 alleged criminal offences have been committed by asylum seekers

The revelations from the Mail on Sunday come as over 23,000 small boat migrants have crossed the Channel so far this year.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: "This shocking Mail investigation lays bare the risk posed by these illegal immigrants to the British public.

"We just need to deport all illegal immigrants immediately upon arrival, with no judicial process, either to Rwanda or elsewhere."

The 708 offences took place by those staying at 70 taxpayer-funded hotels up and down the UK.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

In one astonishing case, an asylum seeker strangled and tried to rape a woman in the female toilets of a nightclub in Wakefield, North Yorkshire.

Sudanese asylum seeker Ayman Adam, 25, had been staying at Cedar Court Hotel before being jailed for seven years after he followed the woman into the toilets.

Adam pushed the woman into the cubicle, pinned her over the toilet and strangled her.

In Oxford, a university student was sexually assaulted in a doorway by asylum seeker Khaliz Alshimery.

Alshimery, 47, chased the woman, dragged her into a churchyard and raped her.

He was staying at a migrant hotel in Oxford and was jailed for 12 years after being found guilty of rape, sexual assault by penetration and three counts of sexual assault.

Some 32,345 asylum seekers are currently living in hotels, with 66,683 currently living in houses, flats and bedsits across the UK.

Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said: "Illegal migrants breaking into our country should have no route to claiming asylum and be held in detention until they are deported, not in hotels on high streets."

The Home Office noted: "We do not tolerate criminality of any kind and will be thoroughly investigating all the allegations raised in this report."
