NEARLY four in ten people charged over sex attacks in London in the last seven years are foreign nationals, police figures show.
Police figures show these migrants were behind 2,809 of the 7,798 alleged crimes recorded in the capital since 2018 – despite making up less than a quarter of the city’s population.
Four in 10 charged over sex attacks in London are foreign nationals, police stats show
The number of annual sexual offence charges recorded in London has almost doubled in that period.
Romanians were behind 308 sexual offence charges to be the highest non-British cohort in terms of raw numbers.
But the 89 charges of Afghans makes them the most frequent offenders as a share of their population – estimated to be up to 12,000.
The Centre for Migration Control obtained a breakdown from the Met on the nationalities of people who have had charges brought for sexual offences since 2018.
Of the 7,798 offences, 4,631 were from British nationals, 2,809 from non-Brits, and 358 with unknown nationalities.
If unknowns are counted as foreign nationals, it means non-Brits carried out 40.6 per cent of the crimes. If they are excluded, the figure is still 37.8 per cent.
Robert Bates, Research Director at the Centre for Migration Control said: “Our capital city is stuck in the depths of lawless decay. The spike in sexual offences against women and girls is directly attributable to our open borders.
“Any foreign national found guilty of these crimes must be deported without question and those nationalities overrepresented in crime statistics must face visa restrictions.
“It is time to be unashamedly robust in protecting British decency and making sure our streets are safe.”
A Home Office spokesperson said: “Those who commit sex crimes are despicable, causing the most unimaginable harm to victims and survivors.
“It is this government’s mission to halve violence against women and girls in a decade.
“We continue to deport foreign nationals who commit heinous crimes in the UK are not left free on our streets.
“Since the election, over 35,000 people have been returned from the UK, including a 14 per cent increase in the number of foreign national offenders.”
