ASYLUM ‘PUPIL’ FIRST PIC
GCSE schoolboy is ‘in his 30s’
AN asylum seeker who spent six weeks at a school posing as a 15-year-old has been proved to be an adult.
Pupils raised the alarm about a “30-year-old bloke in our maths class”. And one student posted a picture of the
6ft 1in classmate in uniform – with a five o’clock shadow of a beard – on Snapchat.
They then found pictures of the Iranian man on Facebook showing him with full beard, a hairy chest and swigging beer.
The Home Office confirmed the man, who speaks poor English, is over 18 after he was removed from Year 11 at Stoke High School in Ipswich, Suffolk, earlier this month.
Texts
He is now being treated as an adult asylum seeker and faces being booted out the UK.
It was also revealed he had bombarded a 15-year-old girl classmate with text messages leading to her calling in a safeguarding team over concerns about his age.
Outraged parents withdrew their children, claiming they were being put in danger.
The Home Office has refused to reveal his true age or any details of his background.
But pupils found internet profiles showing he was an architecture student in Iran and previously lived in Germany. One pupil claimed he had confessed to being a married dad-of-two.
His younger brother was also taken out of the school, but the Home Office is sure he is a child and he has been moved from the area.
