An asylum seeker has been jailed for raping a teenager he met online within weeks of arriving in the country by small boat.

Kurdish national Mehmet Ogur, who was living at the Holiday Inn Express in Tamworth, forced himself on his 18-year-old victim in the grounds of Tamworth Castle.

He later sent the woman messages saying he was sorry for what he had done.
