An asylum seeker who was allowed to stay in the UK – after several attempts to deport him – has been jailed for more than 10 years after he raped a 15-year-old girl.
Anicet Mayela, 41, from the Republic of Congo, first came to the UK in 2004 but was set to be deported in 2005.
He carried out the attack in December last year when inebriated and caused the teenage girl to become pregnant, a judge sitting at Oxford Crown Court heard on Tuesday.
