A 51-year-old Jamaican man jailed for 18 years for raping his wife and sister has been allowed to remain in Britain after an immigration tribunal ruled deportation would breach his human rights. The Home Office had branded him a 'danger to the community' and sought to remove him, but the Upper Tribunal in London overturned the deportation order under Article 3 of the ECHR. The sentencing judge who jailed him warned he would 'continue to minimise and blame others' and that he had manipulated his family to disbelieve his sister.

The immigration judge admitted 'there is nothing positive to say about his presence in the UK' but was legally bound to block deportation.

Under Article 3 of the ECHR — which forbids torture — his criminality cannot be considered at all when ruling on deportation risk.

The man, granted anonymity as 'OB', was also convicted of attempting to rape a girl under 16 and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for life.
