Afghani asylum seeker jailed for raping 12-year-old girl in migrant hotel

(Breitbart) An asylum seeker from Afghanistan has been jailed for twice raping a 12-year-old girl with learning disabilities in a migrant hotel in London.

Sakhidad Ahadi, 25, was sentenced at the Croydon Crown Court to twelve years in prison for grooming and raping a 12-year-old refugee from Albania, however, he will likely only serve eight years behind bars before being considered for parole.

During the trial, Ahadi maintained that he was also 12 years old, despite evidence that he was in fact 25 years old.
