He said he was going to kill me. He said to me, \u2018\u2018Do you know how many people I have killed?\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Cardos grabbed her throat and she briefly passed out. When she came to, she found he was not in the room, but he returned.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u2018This time he had a knife. He kept saying I was bad and he was going to kill me. I thought he had flipped or was on drugs or something.\u2019 Cardos then raped her.<\/p>\n<p>Passing sentence in July 2012, Judge Lord Hardie said there was a high risk of re-offending and \u00adCardos posed a danger to women.<\/p>\n<p>Cardos was sentenced to eight years for rape and a further three years for dealing a Class B drug.<\/p>\n<p>Having started his sentence at HMP Dumfries, he was later sent to the State Hospital at \u00adCarstairs, Lanarkshire, after he was \u00addiagnosed with schizophrenia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was returned to the prison when \u00addoctors found his condition could be \u00adcontrolled with medication.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2019, Cardos was served with a deportation order \u2013 but immediately launched a \u00adchallenge with the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He argued that the medicines he was receiving to treat his mental health would not be available in Gambia.<\/p>\n<p>The Home Office offered to give him enough medicine to last three months, plus \u00a31,250 to buy further supplies. He refused the offer and tribunal judges ruled that sending him back to Gambia would potentially breach his human rights.<\/p>\n<p>They said there was \u2018a real risk that he will experience genuine difficulties in the Gambia in being able to access a regular supply of his necessary medications\u2019, adding: \u2018There is a real risk of at least social isolation and stigmatisation.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Home Secretary appealed the decision but the challenge was rejected last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Justice Dame Henrietta Hill said: \u2018The Secretary of State for the Home Department fails to establish any proper basis to \u00adinterfere with the decision.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12605729\/Foreign-rapist-whos-danger-women-deported.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreign rapist who&#8217;s a &#8216;danger to women&#8217;
