The man was allowed to stay in the country due to fears of violent attacks where he was from for being bisexual.
GB News host Emily Carver has fiercely criticised a controversial decision allowing a foreign rapist to remain in the UK, branding it an “absolute joke”.
The uproar follows a ruling that prevented the deportation of a Jamaican national due to his bisexuality.
The 41-year-old man had been sentenced to seven years in prison in 2018 for raping a woman at a party while she was sleeping.
After serving half his sentence, he was released in June 2021 and subsequently issued a deportation order.
Despite being labelled a “danger to the community” by the Home Office, the man successfully challenged the order.

Speaking on GB News, Emily Carver expressed outrage at the decision, saying: “Absolute joke. I mean, that’s not how things should work.
“Our human rights in this country should come before a rapist from Jamaica. I mean, it is crazy.
“The Home Office should be allowed to get rid of someone who’s committed violent crimes.”
Immigration barrister Paul Turner joined the discussion, adding: “The issue, and I looked into the report on this case, the Home Office said that he’d only dated women while in the United Kingdom.

“One has to respect the decision of the court in this case. But there will be a suspicion that he has added on a sexuality claim, knowing full well that if it was accepted by the tribunal, he would be safe from being removed to Jamaica.
“Sadly, if he was to go out and rape another woman or three or four, and I hope he doesn’t, he still wouldn’t be removed to Jamaica.”
The tribunal heard the man’s testimony detailing the abuse he suffered in Jamaica due to his sexuality, including being attacked with a “metal bar, machete and dogs”.
He claimed his relationship with an older man led to further violence, including the man’s murder. He argued that deportation would place him at risk of similar attacks.

Former security minister Sir John Hayes was among those condemning the ruling.
“This is an insult to every victim,” Hayes said. “This man should be thrown out of the country.”
A Home Office spokesperson expressed frustration with the court’s decision, saying: “We made the case to deport this individual and lost in the courts.”
An application to appeal the tribunal’s ruling was declined in November.
