An asylum seeker raped two little British girls while he fought deportation on grounds of his ‘human right to a family life’. 39-year-old William Danga raped and violently molested two young girls, one of whom was only four years old. The Congolese national was allowed to stay in Britain to rape the two children even after he had raped a teenage girl ten years earlier. 

Danga was able to halt the deportation process by ‘losing his passport’ and having a child with a younger woman. That enabled him to use Article 8 of the Human Rights Act, ‘the right to a family life’, to aid his fight to stay in the country. Unemployed Danga was jailed for 15 years for the assaults. He shouted abuse at relatives of the two girls as he was led to the cells.
