Sudan tops the league table of sex offence arrests by nationality, ‘disturbing’ analysis suggests.<\/p>\n

Data laying bare the scale of such alleged crimes by foreigners in England and Wales places Afghanistan<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0second.<\/p>\n

Eritrea,\u00a0Iran<\/strong><\/a> and Iraq<\/strong><\/a> rounded out the top five, out of a total of 155 named countries.<\/p>\n

Police made 8,500 arrests of foreign nationals for sexual offences including rape in 2024 and start of 2025.<\/p>\n

More than 220 came from Sudan, according to figures obtained exclusively by MailOnline.<\/p>\n

Latest Government statistics, from the 2021 Census, say only 18,650 Sudanese-born people without British citizenship live here.<\/p>\n

This equates to a rate of around 1,200 arrests per 100,000 of the African country’s migrant population.<\/p>\n

Because the supplied data only looks at arrests, it does not mean they were all convicted. Suspects may have also been nicked multiple times.<\/p>\n

If Sudan’s rate was applied to the home-born population in England and Wales, it would equate to approximately 500,000 arrests.<\/p>\n

Yet cops only nicked 44,000 people for sexual offences across all nationalities in the year to April 2024.<\/p>\n

Huge gaps in the available data on the contentious topic of migrant crime<\/strong><\/a><\/span> means the real figures may be very different. Immigration has spiralled to all-time highs over the past few years and thousands have arrived on small boats.<\/p>\n

Chris Philp MP, shadow home secretary, said of MailOnline’s investigation: ‘These figures are deeply troubling.<\/p>\n

‘It is disturbing to see so many horrific crimes perpetrated by foreign offenders but also so many gaps in available data.<\/p>\n

‘The first duty of any government is to keep its citizens safe.<\/p>\n

‘Labour must heed our calls to deport all foreign criminals at once.’<\/p>\n

Robert Bates, from the Centre of Migration Control think tank, added: ‘Police forces are clearly recording this data.<\/p>\n

‘This is hugely important information, which could be used to greatly improve the manner in which our immigration system works.<\/p>\n

‘But a political choice has been made by officials to try and ignore the evidence.’<\/p>\n

Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick said: ‘Not only is mass migration making us poorer, but this data proves it’s also making us dramatically less safe.<\/p>\n

‘Not only do we need to reduce overall migration radically, we also need to overhaul security vetting.’<\/p>\n

He added: ‘It should not be surprising that migrants from cultures with backward attitudes towards women are more likely to commit sexual crimes here in the UK.<\/p>\n

‘If we are serious about tackling violence against women and girls, we need an immigration system that takes that into account and puts the safety of the British people first.’<\/p>\n

Homeless Sudanese national Fawzi Omar was jailed for four years after he sexually assaulted a woman in Exeter city centre last May.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old, who was also given a further four years on extended licence, approached the victim, grabbed her and sexually assaulted her as she was walking home in the early hours of the morning.<\/p>\n

Another Sudanese national’s sexual assaults sparked a newspaper to warn locals about his predatory behaviour, with the bold headline: ‘This man keeps sexually assaulting women’.<\/p>\n

In January, Ali Hamad was jailed for eight months after being found guilty of assaulting ‘two lone females’ who were walking home after a night out in Cardiff.<\/p>\n

He touched one’s bare shoulder and slapped the other in the face three times.<\/p>\n

The assaults happened just a fortnight after he was sentenced to a 12-week jail term for masturbating on a busy London street and reaching through the seats of a bus to touch an off-duty female police officer’s bum.<\/p>\n

The Sudanese national, whose age sparked confusion in court, was described as ‘fairly rootless, with no job or relatives’ by a lawyer.<\/p>\n

MailOnline calculated the league table using Freedom of Information (FOI) data from the 43 police forces in England and Wales.<\/p>\n

Greater Manchester Police, Warwickshire Police,\u00a0Northamptonshire Police and Dyfed-Powys Police did not provide data.<\/p>\n

Our probe covered all of 2024, although some forces gave figures for parts of January and February 2025.<\/p>\n

It solely looked at sexual offence arrests, which might also include child grooming.<\/p>\n

Forces did not explicitly state how they determined whether the arrested were foreign nationals.<\/p>\n

The FOI data was then plotted against the 2021 Census, which asked respondents about their country of birth and nationality.<\/p>\n

We only took into account those without British citizenship or a passport, and did not include dual British citizens.<\/p>\n

Only countries with at least 10 arrests were included.<\/p>\n

A handful of countries had no population data to compare against.<\/p>\n

Some forces didn’t give us an exact figure for nationalities with fewer than five arrests.<\/p>\n

For those, we chose to count them as just one. It means the actual number could be higher.<\/p>\n

Dual foreign nationals were also excluded from our probe.<\/p>\n

Due to the unavailability of official migrant crime statistics, the methodology used is one of the only ways to compare different nationalities.<\/p>\n

Using Afghanistan as an example, Census data shows there were 27,850 people born there without British citizenship living here in 2021.<\/p>\n

According to the FOIs, there were at least 281 arrests of Afghan nationals for sex offences during the 12-month spell. This equated to a rate of 1,009 per 100,000.<\/p>\n

Similar analyses by the Centre for Migration Control estimated a rate of around 50 per 100,000 for Britons.<\/p>\n

The higher rate of arrests for foreign nationalities could be down to a host of factors,\u00a0including the possibility that police might disproportionately target some groups.<\/p>\n

The data also does not consider sex of the alleged offender.<\/p>\n

An estimated 98 per cent of sexual offences are committed by men, meaning the ratios could be much higher if broken down.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the Home Office declined to comment when presented with the data.<\/p>\n

In terms of raw numbers, MailOnline can reveal more Indians were arrested for sexual offences than any other foreign nationality last year (785).<\/p>\n

But with an Indian-born non-British population of 437,566, it meant India ranked 40th in the league table.<\/p>\n

Romanians were the second most arrested nationality, with 668 over 12 months, followed by Poland with 649 citizens.<\/p>\n

Mr Bates added: ‘We know which nationalities are more likely to commit certain heinous crimes, yet our immigration system is presently doing nothing to try and stave off this crisis.<\/p>\n

‘The Home Office has a duty to keep the British public safe, something it is patently failing to do with its open-door policy.<\/p>\n

‘Coming to Britain is an immense privilege, and any foreign national found guilty of committing a crime should be removed from our country forthwith so they no longer blight the lives of the British public.’<\/p>\n

The Government has previously claimed to have returned more than 24,000 individuals with no right to be in country since Labour took power and a 16 per cent increase in foreign national offenders being removed in the same period.<\/p>\n
