Alleged transit rapist was in U.S. illegally but protected from deportation: Report:

The man charged with raping a woman in front of passengers on a Philadelphia-area train was in the U.S. illegally on an expired student visa and was protected from deportation by the immigration system, according to a report.

Congolese national Fiston Ngoy, 35, had come to the U.S. legally in 2012 on a student visa, but his visa was terminated in 2015 because he was no longer a student, Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” reported late Tuesday.

The report also cited court records showing that Mr. Ngoy pleaded guilty in 2017 in Washington, D.C., to a misdemeanor of sexual abuse and was sentenced to 120 days in prison and nine months of probation.

He was placed in immigration detention in January 2018. But he was never deported, due to a “withholding of removal” ruling from an immigration judge in March 2019 after the Board of Immigration Appeals found that his misdemeanor sex offense was not a “serious crime,” the report stated. --->READ MORE HERE

Court records show Fiston Ngoy already had a criminal record

The man who allegedly raped a woman in front of passengers on a Philadelphia area-train already has a criminal record and had overstayed his student visa – but was protected from deportation by the immigration system.

Tucker Carlson Tonight has confirmed that Fiston Ngoy, who was arrested last week for allegedly raping the woman in a brutal attack on a SEPTA train in front of other passengers, came to the U.S. legally in 2012 on a student visa.

However, the 35-year-old Congolese national's visa was terminated in 2015 because he failed to remain a student.

Meanwhile, court records show that he racked up "multiple arrests and two misdemeanor convictions, one for controlled substances and one for sexual abuse." Ngoy pled guilty in 2017 in Washington D.C. to the sexual abuse misdemeanor and was sentenced to 120 days in prison and nine months probation. --->READ MORE HERE
