A man who tried to meet an under-age girl in Hinckley for sex after overstaying his student visa has been jailed. In fact the girl did not exist, and her online profile had been created by a Leicestershire-based vigilante group which snared Quisar Yousaf when he turned up expecting to meet her.
Yousaf (25) was jailed for 12 months after pleading guilty at Warwick Crown Court to attempting to meet a child following sexual grooming. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender for 10 years following his release – although it is expected he will be deported as soon as he has served his sentence.
Prosecutor Andrew Jackson said Yousaf came to this country from Pakistan on a student visa in 2012 and "overstayed" after it expired last year.
