Asylum seeker whose deportation was blocked by cabin crew raped girl, 15, and got her pregnant in sex attack
A FAILED asylum seeker whose deportation was blocked by do-gooder cabin crew has been jailed for raping a 15-year-old girl.
Anicet Mayela, 41, targeted the teen in December last year after he had been drinking.
The "vulnerable" victim had to have an abortion after becoming pregnant during the horror attack.
Mayela has now been jailed for ten years and ten months at Oxford Crown Court.
The fiend was also handed a sexual harm prevention order for life and has been banned from working with children and vulnerable adults.
Mayela admitted a count of rape earlier this year but later failed in a bid to change his plea to not guilty.

Sentencing, Judge Maria Lamb said: "For her, it was her first sexual experience, and the misery that you caused to that child who became pregnant as a result must have been extreme.
"You continued to deny your offence. Your sentence will be no longer for that, but you don't have the benefit of remorse, and she doesn't have the support and assistance of knowing that you acknowledge your guilt."
The judge also called the victim a "remarkable young woman who, despite everything that has happened to her and everything that you did to her, has found it possible to forgive you".
Mayela had arrived in the UK in 2004 claiming his life was at risk in his native Republic of Congo.

The ex-economics student was due to be deported but the bid failed when he claimed he was injured at Colnbrook Immigration Removal Centre.
A flight back to Congan capital Brazzaville was scheduled for May 2005 but Mayela's deportation was blocked by Air France crew at Southampton.
It came amid claims Mayela's hand were broken by deportation minders who handcuffed his wrists and taped his legs together.
In December, the failed asylum seeker raped a 15-year-old girl after being granted leave to remain in the UK.
The Sun revealed how he became a poster boy for anti-deportation campaigners after using human rights law to fight his return to the Republic of the Congo.
He arrived in the UK in 2004 after paying an “agent” to smuggle him out of Africa where he claimed his life was at risk.
After the flight was blocked, Mayela was given leave to remain when lawyers argued deportation would be against his human rights.
This came following a police investigation into the alleged claims he was assaulted by his handlers.
Mayela then joined a campaign to close Campsfield House and was photographed protesting outside with the sign stating: “Migrants are not criminals.”
