Credit CPS for police bodycam and CCTV footage An asylum seeker hotel resident is facing jail for sexual assaults on a woman and a 14-year-old girl that sparked nationwide protests. Ethiopian national Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, who arrived in the UK on a small boat days before the incidents, was found guilty of five offences at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Thursday. His behaviour in July led to protesters and counter-protesters taking to the streets in Epping, Essex, and eventually further demonstrations outside hotels housing asylum seekers across the country.
