Failed Asylum Seekers Convicted of Brighton Beach Rape

0:00On May 2nd, three failed asylum seekers who crossed the channel in small boats just got convicted of gangraping a woman on Brighton Beach. Ibrahim al-Shafe and Abdullah Ahmadi, both mid-20s from Egypt and Iran, along with 20-year-old Karin al-Danisert from Egypt, had their claims. Rejected, but were still housed in a luxury hotel, all on the taxpayer dime. This spot, Siswood House and West Sussex, used to be a ritzy retreat built by an ex-herit's chairman, complete with pools and spas. Last October, after hitting nightclubs and drinking all night, they targeted an intoxicated woman in her 30s, around 5.45 am, taking turns assaulting her while one filmed it. Locals near the hotel have been sounding alarms for months about single men roaming free, lewd comments to women, smash windows, and fancy deliveries. Like designer bags, despite their 9-pound weekly allowance, one neighbor's daughters got harassed by these exact guys days before the attack.

1:01The trio was nailed guilty last week at Hove Crown Court on multiple rape counts, with DNA and phone videos sealing it. Right after the verdicts, buses cleared out the hotel's last residence, shifting folks to basic military barracks as the government closes the asylum. Hotels, sentencing hits in July, followed by deportation plans for these foreign national offenders. The system's cracks let this slide too far, but at least the victim's bravery brought justice, leaving us to wonder how many close calls win. Unchecked.
