Borderless Britain: Foreign National Sex Convictions Surge by More Than 60 Per Cent over Past Four Years

by Kurt Zindulka

Sexual offences committed by migrants in Britain has been rising at a faster pace than the number committed by British citizens, with migrant sex crimes increasing by over 60 per cent over the past four years.

According to figures from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) based on data from the Police National Computer (PNC), migrants accounted for 14.1 per cent of sexual offence and rape convictions in 2024, or around one in seven of all convictions, the Daily Telegraph reported.

While this broadly falls in line with the percentage of foreign-born residents living in the country, the data found that migrant sex crimes are rising at a significantly higher rate — particularly among certain groups — than those committed by British nationals, some of whom may have also been born abroad and later attained UK citizenship.

The data found that between the lockdown year of 2021 and 2024, convictions of sex offences by foreign nationals rose by 687 to 1,114. This was compared to a 39.3 rise among British citizens during the same time period, increasing from 4,409 to 6,142.

The disparity becomes even more stark when narrowing down on certain nationalities, with the broadsheet noting that the seven groups most likely to illegally cross the English Channel — Afghans, Eritreans, Iranians, Iraqis, Sudanese, Syrians, and Vietnamese — saw a collective 110 per cent rise in sex crime convictions since 2021.

In terms of raw numbers of convictions last year, Indians ranked the highest with 100, followed by Romanians at 92, Poles at 83, Pakistanis at 56, Afghans at 43, Nigerans at 40, Sudanese 37, Bangaldeshi at 34, and Portugese at 33. This, however, does not include convictions of those belonging to such ethnicities who either became UK citizens or who were born in the country to migrant parents.

The MoJ noted that the data may be misleading given that one offender may have committed multiple offences — which also presumably counts for British nationals —  and that some offenders may have multiple nationalities, while the figures only record their “primary” nationality.  The opaqueness of the data has led to calls for the full publication of crimes broken down by nationality and migration status, which the government said earlier in 2025 it will finally provide by the end of the year.
