## Caption

An Eritrean man who was convicted of raping a pensioner next to a north London church entered Britain illegally, GB News can reveal.

Bruke Desalagne, 33, was found guilty by a jury at Harrow Crown Court after they viewed CCTV footage capturing the attack, which lasted approximately 20 minutes.

The assault took place on a grass verge beside St John's Church in Harrow, where Desalagne dragged an elderly man behind a hoarding in an apparent effort to hide what he was doing.

CCTV from a council-operated camera captured the sustained assault, with footage showing cars and a London double-decker bus travelling past in close proximity throughout.

Speaking on The Late Show Live, GB News host Ben Leo called Desalagne an "absolute monster" and a "degenerate specimen."
