A shamed hero welcomed to the UK after his work with the security forces in Afghanistan was caught trying to have online sex chat with an underage girl.
Haseenbullah Rahimi earned the right to remain in Britain indefinitely due to his service in Helmand Province and has references about his "exemplary" character. But on February 13 he tried to get a 14-year-old girl to perform a sex act on herself during a Facebook exchange.
Fortunately, the "girl", who called herself Megan and said she lived in Durham, was a fake profile set up by a decoy and no real child was involved. Prosecutor Kevin Wardlaw told the court Rahimi had said a the start of the chat "I'm not allowed to talk to a 14-year-old" but continued the conversation anyway.
