7:50Now PlayingIn an eye-opening call, Colin explains to Shelagh Fogarty why he thinks it’s acceptable to suspect *all* migrants of being predators.
It comes as an asylum seeker was jailed after being found guilty of five charges, including sexually assaulting a woman and a teenage girl in Epping.
The 38-year-old asylum seeker from Ethiopia committed the crimes whilst staying at the Bell Hotel, just days after arriving in the UK on a small boat.
His arrest led to a wave of anti-immigration protests and counter-demonstrations in July.
Before his sentence was delivered on Monday, Kebatu's defence barrister, Molly Dyas, said the defendant’s “firm wish is to be deported as soon as possible", as he has been suffering with his mental health.
District Judge Christopher Williams called Kebatu "manipulative" as he delivered his sentence, saying he "knew full well" his younger victim "was only 14 years of age".
His teenage victim had earlier told the court her school uniform now makes her "feel exposed", while the adult victim said his actions made her angry.
Judge Williams also referenced the impact of Kebatu's offences on other asylum seekers in the Bell Hotel since his arrest.
Kebatu, who bowed his head to the judge before he was led to the cells, was told he will serve his term immediately, because there was "no realistic prospect" of him being rehabilitated with a suspended sentence.
"You pose a significant risk of reoffending," Judge William added.
Before sentencing, Judge Williams said Kebatu had tried to take his own life "on at least one occasion" while on remand in prison.
The judge said he must sign the Sex Offenders’ Register for 10 years, and made him subject of a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
He also ordered that Kebatu pay £650 prosecution costs and a £187 victim surcharge.
The judge added that Kebatu "couldn’t have anticipated" his offending "would cause such a response from the public".
