Thread: Defendant raped woman so he could learn English in prison

Reports: Defendant says he raped woman so he could learn English in prison

Ali Majlat told a court-appointed psychiatrist that he raped a woman last year in Wakefield, England, because he wanted the benefits of prison life, Wakefield Express reports.

"When I was on the railway station I thought I should rape this lady in order to get a place to eat and sleep and learn the English language," he reportedly said.

Majlit's defense lawyer confirmed the accuracy of that quote during an exchange with the judge, the paper says.

Yorkshire Evening Post reports that Majlat, who is facing a possible life sentence, pleaded guilty to raping and robbing the 21-year-old woman. The paper says he had been released from a prison in Romania "only weeks earlier."

We can be really glad that this immigrant didn't make it to America.

Does this explain why so many illegal aliens end up in prison in the U.S.?
They want "the benefits of prison life", "a place to eat and sleep and learn the English language"?

Then will this criminal's home country have him returned to them. Put these type of criminals on their own island for life if their country doesn't want them.

Wakefield rapist wanted jail English lessons

19 January 2009
By Mark Lavery

A Romanian ex-convict brutally raped a young woman in Wakefield because he wanted to be sent to a British jail to learn English.
Ali Majlat, 35, attacked the 21-year-old woman as she waited on a platform at Wakefield Kirkgate station.

He raped her in an underpass before robbing her of her mobile phone, purse and a bracelet at 8.30pm on Sunday October 12 last year, Leeds Crown Court heard.

The court heard after his arrest Majlat told a psychiatrist he decided to rape the woman because he wanted to go to jail where he would be fed, housed and be taught English.

Doctors ruled Majlat is not mentally ill.

Majlat raped the woman after travelling to Wakefield to visit his brother at the city's maximum security jail.

He fled to London but was arrested days later after a nationwide British Transport Police appeal.

The court heard Majlat said he entered the UK intending to visit his brother immediately after being released from a Romanian jail last June after serving time for theft and attempted robbery.

In September he was jailed for eight weeks by Horseferry Road magistrates in London for burglary.

Judge Alastair McCallum asked Majlat's defence counsel: "Is it right that he (Majlat] said 'When I was at the railway station I thought I should rape this lady in order to get a place to eat and sleep and learn the English language."

Mark McKone, for Majlat said: "He does say words similar to that." Mr McKone said his client had been sleeping rough for some time.

Judge McCallum said: "That's bizarre ... Is it going to be part of the mitigation that the reason for committing this offence was to get into an English jail so he had somewhere to sleep and learn the language?"

Mr McKone said it would not be a mitigating factor, but added: "It is the defendant's explanation."

Judge McCallum asked the Crown Prosecution Service to investigate Majlat's criminal history in Romania.

And he said he wanted to know if there was any procedures in place to alert customs officers to criminals like Majlat travelling to the UK from Romania under EEC regulations.

Majlat, of no fixed abode, had admitted rape and robbery.

He will be sentenced in April.

Judge McCallum said he was considering imposing a life sentence.

Det Supt Dave Shipperlee, of British Transport Police, said: "This was a violent and sustained attack on a young woman who must have been absolutely terrified.

"Police conducted an intensive investigation to catch the man responsible. I would like to reassure the public that incidents such as this are extremely rare on the railway network and also to thank everyone who came forward with information to help us in our investigation."

That's one reason. I even bet the conditions are like 5 star hotels compared to the huts they came from......

BUTT

I wouldn't want to end up in prison here since you really don't need English to get by anymore. Press 1 for English.... ! And if I all really wanted to do is work I would try my best to stay away from the Law.. Remember these people have "To Live in the Shadows" so you could argue that the other benefits like work, free health, free welfare, No Taxes, Easy Loans from Bank of America. That would be my goal unless I just was a criminal sicko in the first place. Unfortunately just as many criminals if not more get through and make it worse for everyone.

FAMILY VALUE SYSTEM

What country would want this animal? What a savage.
