Offences against Children: Asylum
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many female victims of sexual offences in each of the last five years were under the age of 18, where the alleged perpetrator was an asylum seeker.
- Answer
-
Data regarding the age of the victim is not held by the Ministry of Justice, except where it is specifically defined in statute (for example, where the offence is a sexual offence against a child). In addition, the Ministry of Justice does not hold information on the asylum status of offenders.
The removal of Foreign National Offenders is a priority for this Government and within its first two years (July 2024 to June 2026), this Government has increased returns of FNOs by 41% compared to the last two years of the previous Government.
