1:01:07Now PlayingDeputy Prime Minister David Lammy is expected to be grilled in the Commons today after an asylum seeker sex offender was mistakenly released from prison.
Ethiopian national Hadush Kebatu was jailed for 12 months in September for the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl and was wrongly freed from HMP Chelmsford on Friday morning instead of being sent to an immigration detention centre.
The migrant, who had been living at the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, when he assaulted the girl, travelled from Chelmsford to London and was arrested on Sunday morning in Finsbury Park.
The father of Kebatu's teenage victim said now that he had been rearrested, he hoped the sex offender would be "deported immediately". Sky News understands this may be tomorrow.
