According to the Sun, a deported paedophile was able to sneak back into the United Kingdom under a different identity.
Juan Guerra Landazuri, 44, was able to live in the UK under his new
identity for two years. He was finally discovered when a teenager
claimed he had sexually assaulted her.
Suspect
Originally known as Juan Alejandro Guerra, Landazuri had been jailed
for four years in 2002 for two offences of indecent assault on a girl
aged under 14.
He was banned from
working with children for life and banned from returning to the UK when
he was deported in 2005 after serving his jail sentence.
But once back in Ecuador he legally changed his name and got a Spanish passport because he held dual nationality.
Landazuri then used the documents to re-enter Britain in August 2013 as part of a Spanish work exchange programme.
He
moved to Ipswich, Suffolk, and worked for 18 months with a care company
helping 15 to 19-year-olds with learning difficulties find
accommodation.
Ipswich crown court heard how he got the job by leaving the “previous convictions” section of his application form blank.
Landazuri
was arrested in July after an allegation of sexual assault on a female
over 16 was made against him. He was never charged in connection with
the allegation.
But after discovering his real identity, cops charged him with
fraudulently applying for his job. He is now back behind bars and will
be deported again when his sentence is complete.
Suffolk police
and crime commissioner Tim Passmore said he was “absolutely horrified”
by the case and demanded tighter border controls to keep criminals out
of Britain.
He said: “It beggars belief that yet again we have a
foreign national – this time with dual citizenship – with a serious
criminal record of a predatory nature against young people has gained
entry into the UK despite having a previous conviction and being
deported from the country.”
A spokeswoman for the Home Office
added: “Foreign criminals have no place in the United Kingdom and we are
using all the resources available to protect the British public.”
Landazuri
admitted failing to comply with notification requirements under the Sex
Offenders’ Act between January 2005 and July 2015. He also admitted
fraud by failing to disclose his previous convictions between November
2013 and July 2015. He was jailed for 26 months.
