Sex offender who wants to be deported breaches release conditions four times in six months
A Somalian man who violated a sleeping woman in an effort to be deported to his homeland has breached his release conditions four times since leaving jail in January. Mohammed Abdiwali was jailed for another three months on Friday after admitting two charges of breaching his conditions. Abdiwali was on conditions after serving five years and nine months jail for sexually violating a woman in Te Puke in 2014. He climbed into the woman's bed during a burglary.

He said he did it because he believed he would be deported to Somalia if he committed a serious crime. He served his entire sentence before his release on January 10. Abdiwali then breached his release conditions on January 21 and March 30, and was jailed each time. In the Palmerston North District Court on Friday, Abdiwali's lawyer Fergus Steedman said the only choice was more jail time. He told me he just wants to get sentenced. He wants to do his time. Abdiwali had an offer of employment and wanted to make a "new beginning", Steedman said. Ultimately, he wants to go back to Somalia. Each time I have talked to him, he has stressed that is where he sees his life. Judge Stephanie Edwards said Abdiwalis latest two breaches, on May 22 and July 1, came through the use of drugs and alcohol. Abdiwali was banned from drugs and alcohol because his use of substances made him behave in a disturbed way, the judge said. Using substances made him have unhealthy choices with women, including heading to Thames during the coronavirus lockdown to meet a woman he did not know, the judge said. It raises a real issue of your risk in the community. Paperwork problems were the reason Abdiwali could not travel, she said.
