A harrowing court case has revealed disturbing details of a brutal sexual assault on Brighton beach that has exposed significant flaws in Britain's immigration system.
Three men, including a failed asylum seeker who was living in Home Office accommodation, have been convicted of raping a 33-year-old woman in the popular seaside location.

The court heard that one of the perpetrators was an immigration offender who had been housed in a taxpayer-funded asylum hotel while his immigration status was being processed. This revelation has sparked outrage and raised serious questions about the Home Office's management of asylum cases.
"This case highlights catastrophic failures in our immigration system," said a source close to the investigation. "A known immigration offender was able to commit this horrific crime while being accommodated at public expense."
