POS deport him back too england
Absolutely disgusting. I hope the victim can get the help she needs, and I hope this awful human being can sit in prison for a good long time.
Put this animal under the jail and not in the jail. As far as the girl goes, I hope she gets help and will be ok. Prayers for her.
