AN asylum seeker blamed the "immorality" of Newcastle city centre for his sex attack on a "vulnerable" man.
The 25-year-old pulled his trousers down and pushed the 26-year-old's head towards his genitals, before pursuing him in a 20-minute attack. Jamie Adams, defending, said: "All of the protagonists seem to be drunk and are out and about in an area which is known to have a reputation but that's not to say it's right, because, of course, it was not for the defendant not to have taken no for an answer."He is an uneducated man, he was a shepherd in his own country, the Sudan.
He had never experienced the kind of immorality he experienced in coming here and was evident in this particular area of Newcastle."He came from Sudan, where homosexuality is still a capital offence, although it's not always enforced. Alcohol is also a pretty serious offence for a Muslim in Sudan.
