A convicted Sri Lankan sex offender has been allowed to remain in Britain because he is gay and would be at risk of persecution if he was returned to his home country.
The convicted paedophile, jailed in 2012 for four years for molesting three young teenage boys, has been fighting a 12-year legal battle against Home Office efforts to deport him.
Successive judges up to the Court of Appeal have disagreed over the validity of his claim that his deportation would be a breach of his Article 3 rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
