Migrant hotel resident accused of sexually assaulting three women in as many weeks
The resident of an asylum hotel near Gatwick Airport has been charged with sexually assaulting three women in a three-week period. Qais Al-Aswad, 26, who resides at Four Points By Sheraton Hotel, Brighton Road, Horley, Surrey has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Today, at Staines Magistrates' Court a trial date of August 20 was set. Al-Aswad is charged with sexually assaulting the women in Horley, Surrey on May 23; June 4 and June 12. He has been remanded in custody at HMP Wandsworth and his solicitors have asked for time to apply for Legal Aid. He will also require an Arabic interpreter for the trial. Al-Aswad was not produced in court today as HMP Wandsworth has suffered a power outage. The four star Sheraton Hotel lies just a few kilometres north of Gatwick on the bank of the River Mole. It boasts 110 rooms as well as a fitness and business centre and TV room. The four star hotel (pictured) lies just a few kilometres north of Gatwick on the bank of the River Mole. It boasts 110 rooms as well as a fitness and business centre and TV room In recent weeks, several anti-immigration protests have taken place outside asylum seeker accommodation across the country amid widespread discontent with the Government's handling of the small boats crisis. The Bell Hotel in Epping has been at the epicentre of these protests after an Ethiopian migrant was charged with a series of sexual offences. Hadush Kebatu, 38, is alleged to have put his hand on a 14-year-old schoolgirl's leg, asked her for a kiss and suggested they make 'Jamaican babies' in Epping over two days, Chelmsford Magistrates' Court was told. He had arrived in the UK by small boat days prior to the alleged offences being committed, said to have happened between July 6 and 9. Kebatu appeared in court last month to deny three charges of sexual assault against two girls aged 14 and 16, inciting a 14-year-old girl to engage in sexual activity and harassment without violence. A migrant residing in the same hotel was charged with a litany of unrelated offences including sexual assault Mohammed Sharwarq, a Syrian national living at the Bell Hotel in Epping, faces seven charges linked to offences alleged to have been committed between July 25 and August 12. The 32-year-old is facing two counts of common assault, four counts of assault by beating and a single count of sexual assault on a man, contrary to section 3 of the Sexual Offences Act 2002. Essex Police said they arrested a 32-year-old man after being called to the Bell Hotel in Epping on August 12 before taking him in for questioning. Sharwarq was then charged and was due to appear in court on Wednesday. The Bell Hotel has been at the epicentre of a series of anti-immigration protests held outside asylum seeker accommodation after a separate incident in which an Ethiopian migrant was charged with a series of unrelated sexual offences. And it is not the only hotel which has been a focal point for protestors. Earlier today chaos erupted outside the Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf which houses migrants, after a man believed to be staying there allegedly walked into a woman's house. The man is said to have entered the house after being followed by a group of men on the street and told to 'go back to the hotel' where anti-migrant protesters were gathered outside. The Met Police said the man had not been charged 'as our initial investigation has not identified any offences'. They refused to say if he was a migrant staying at the hotel. The hotel has been a focus of protests in recent weeks after Tower Hamlets Council confirmed it had been handed over to the Home Office to house asylum seekers.
