I don’t agree with the lifestyles but isn’t their solicitor victim blaming them?

What was their strategy? Matching with rich twinks and nicking their possessions when they get invited back?

“Rahmad Khan Mohammadi, 23 and Mohammed Bilal Hotak, 21 stole phones, passports and wallets in 35 burglaries and 20 related frauds, totalling £68,000 over six months, the Met said.
The court had heard how Mohammadi, from Harrow, and Hotak, from Hackney, both Afghan nationals, tricked their way into the homes of unsuspecting men by arranging to meet up with them on the dating app.
Defending Mohammadi, Nathan Toms, claimed his client had left Afghanistan after he was stabbed at the age of 15 by his then girlfriend’s brother.
“His own family forced him to flee,” he told the court.
“His father was going to murder him because he was linked to the government and he believed it would ‘reset relations’ with his employer. He arrived in this country via a lorry.”
Once they serve their sentence, they need to be deported. Mohammadi’s origin story was also a red flag for dysfunctional patterns of behaviour. The UK would not have been able to remedy this without a significant burden on the taxpayer.

“But barrister for Hotak, John Kearney, claimed the “victims will have learned a lesson” and strongly denied the suggestion that this was in some way “ill will towards the gay community”. ”
We sure this guy is a barrister and not a barista? What an outrageously dumb and offensive thing to say. What is supposed to be the lesson here? And how does that make the crime less bad?

Insane homophobia/Sexism(?), not sure how this isn’t a hate crime and how this sort of victim blaming can be said. The crime seems to be exploiting the victims sexuality, can’t believe it was called an “opportunistic offence” rather than blatantly targeted.

You do have to hand it to them. Only a man would try to meet up with a potentially dangerous stranger immediately for sex.

I thought this was the crime that police didn’t care about? Wasn’t that the story a few months ago?
