Romanian immigrant raped girl so he could get English lessons in same prison as his brother

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

A Romanian immigrant brutally raped a young woman on a railway station so he could be sent to prison for a bed, food and English lessons at the same jail as his brother.

Ali Majlat, who has a string of convictions in his home country and the UK, punched, kicked and dragged his 21-year-old victim along the ground as she waited for a train home after seeing friends.

She briefly escaped his clutches but he caught up with her in an underpass at Wakefield Kirkgate station in West Yorkshire and subjected her to a sustained attack which was captured on CCTV.

He then stole her mobile phone, purse and a bracelet before fleeing. When he was caught five days later he admitted his guilt and claimed he did it so he would end up in jail.

‘When I was on the railway station I thought I should rape this lady in order to get a place to eat and sleep and learn the English language,’ he told a psychologist.

His bizarre explanation for the attack

emerged at Leeds Crown Court on Monday when Majlat pleaded guilty to rape and robbery.

On hearing it, Judge Alistair McCallum was so surprised that he asked the defence barrister to repeat it to be sure he had heard correctly.

Hours before the attack Majlat had tried to visit his brother in Wakefield prison where he is serving a jail term for rape and attempted murder. However, he was turned away because he did not have the correct paperwork.

The 35-year-old later told police that he attacked the girl in the hope he would be sent to the same prison as his brother.

‘All he seems concerned about is being in the same jail as his brother,’ a police source said. ‘When he was told that he would be deported after his sentence, he seemed horrified.

‘He doesn’t want to go back to Romania. He just wants to stay in a British jail.’

Majlat, who is on remand in Leeds prison, entered the UK shortly after being released from a Romanian jail last June after serving time for theft and attempted robbery.

In September he was jailed for eight weeks by Horseferry Road magistrates in London for burglary. But he was not deported after being freed because he was not deemed ‘high risk’.

Convicts from the European Economic Area - members of the EU, plus Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland - can be removed only if they are highly likely to reoffend and if they present a ‘sufficiently serious threat’.

During the case, Judge McCallum demanded to know what procedures there were to stop criminals entering the country. EU citizens with a valid passport can travel to Britain without prior warning.

Even in cases where officials are aware of serious convictions, visitors cannot automatically be turned away.

After raping his victim at 8.30pm on October 12 last year, Majlat fled to London. But police were able to track him down to a homeless hostel because he was still using his victim’s mobile phone.

He was closely examined by doctors and psychologists, who insisted he was sane. During the court hearing, Judge McCallum said he was considering imposing a life sentence.

He asked the Crown Prosecution Service to investigate Majlat’s criminal history in Romania, particularly sexual offences, before he sentences him on April 6.

After the hearing, Detective Superintendent Dave Shipperlee, of British Transport Police, said: ‘This was a violent and sustained attack on a young woman who must have been absolutely terrified.’

Last month the Tories revealed that an estimated 3,000 foreign criminals were released without being deported last year.

Most hard-core prisoners I hear hate rapists

He needs to be deported upon release. But he''ll probably stay in the UK to promote diversity and tolerance.

While the laws which allow a person immigrate and then remain after committing crimes are remarkable..... it's even more remarkable that the majority of people in Briton accept this.

It almost sounds like, American.

[Danno 1,228]

Did I spell that "Briton" when it should have been Britain?

[Nikita2Charles 32]

They should send him to one of those max security jail out here so they can make a woman out of him.

he is a danger to every woman on the street, and should be euthanized. Why on earth do we keep things like this alive? They cannot be integrated into society, and we shouldn't need to pay for it to linger in prison either.

[Danno 1,228]

I almost second that motion.

I don't think you can deport an EU citizen from an EU country and Romania is part of the EU.
