British Man Fighting Deportation from Canada Due to Child Prostitution

Although there are a lot of people that are fighting to get into the UK, there are some people that are fighting to stay out. This just so happens to be the case of a British man who is currently living in Canada. He is soon to be deported for hiring child prostitutes and stalking young women.

Seymour Garfield Grey, age 50, was born in Leeds. For the last three years he has been demanding that the Canadian government call a commission of inquiry into emigrants who come to Canada as children but do not become citizens. He is demanding this or that they pay him $200 million in lieu.

This very unusual demand was part of a Federal Court of Canada appeal against the government. This appeal was both on the behalf of tens of thousands of emigrant children alleging illegal use of deportation and himself. Seymour is demanding a stay of his deportation, claiming the trauma of being sent back to England is nothing short of cruel and unusual punishment.

Mr Grey was first brought to Canada at the age of eight by his parents. He became a landed emigrant in Canada but never took out citizenship despite having always presumed himself to be Canadian. Despite loving Canada, Mr Grey has not been an exemplary member of society.

Apparently he has 21 convictions dating all the way back to 1981. This includes sexual assault, criminal harassment, and two counts of hiring child prostitutes. It was the under aged sex convictions in 2005 that brought him to the attention of emigration officials, who moved to deport him as a non citizen involved in serious crimes.
