British child sex offender faces possible visa review after avoiding deportation
The man, who cannot be legally identified, was sentenced to 14 months in prison in the Perth District Court for aggravated indecent dealing with a child under the age of 13.
He was moved to immigration detention but was later released after successfully overturning his visa cancellation through the ART.
The man is registered on the Australian National Child Offender Register, according to the WA Attorney General Tony Buti.
Reasons for reinstating visa
The ART found while factors like the protection and expectation of the community weighed in favour of his deportation, the man's close ties to the country and the impediments he would face due to his age and ill health outweighed them.
