An asylum seeker has avoided jail after being caught trawling underage children online. Fahad Al Enaze sent sexual messages to an undercover investigator who posed as a teenage girl to catch him out. The 31-year-old from Kuwait continued to ask for photos of the decoy girl, despite the plant saying they were 14. Al Enaze asked explicit questions, including whether she liked sex and claimed he could “teach her everything”.
Prosecutor Chelsea Kearns said: “He had been sending sexually explicit messages to a 14-year-old decoy child. Al Enaze was arrested and told the officer, ‘I didn’t know I was doing anything wrong’.” The asylum seeker, who lives in a taxpayer-funded migrant hotel in Liverpool, was approached by Widnes Parents Against Predators in September last year.

Al Enaze appeared at Warrington magistrates’ court on Friday, where he admitted trying to engage in sexual communications with a minor. He was handed an eight-month jail sentence, suspended for 24 months, as well as 300 hours of unpaid work and 25 days of rehabilitation, The Sun reports.
The asylum seeker living in Britain was issued a sexual harm prevention order, and was placed on the sex offender register for ten years.
In addition to this, he was also ordered to pay £272 in costs and a surcharge.
JP Paul Chadwick told him: “You are very lucky today not to go to immediate custody.
“In this country we take these offences seriously.
“You should be truly ashamed of yourself.”
Liverpool has been a key city in the UK where Brits have been protesting against the use of asylum seekers being housed in hotels.
Throughout the summer, groups of hundreds of demonstrators marched around St George’s Hall waving British flags and carrying banners.
Stand Up to Racism turned up to oppose the group, although a heavy police presence kept the two opposing groups apart.
