“We are aware that a number of concerns have been raised which we are taking extremely seriously and we’re working at pace with partners in the criminal justice system and our Professional Standards Department (PSD) to review issues raised.
“Victim care is our priority. We take all reports of sexual assault seriously and will always thoroughly investigate in order to bring offenders to justice.
“We have specially trained officers on hand to provide advice and support to victims throughout.”
In relation to the perpetrator being housed near the victim, Hertfordshire Police said: “Upon his initial arrest, police charged and remanded Khalafi. He was released on court bail with conditions, following his first court appearance.
“During his next appearance, police raised concerns around the suitability of his bail address and made an application for bail to be revoked. He was subsequently remanded.”
A Home Office spokesperson said: “Our thoughts are with this brave survivor and all survivors of sexual violence.
“This government will not allow foreign criminals and illegal migrants to exploit our laws, which is why we are reforming human rights laws and replacing the broken appeals system, allowing us to scale up deportations.
“The Home Secretary has announced the most sweeping reforms to tackle illegal migration in modern times which will make Britain a less attractive destination for illegal migrants and will make it easier to remove and deport them.
“All Foreign National Offenders who receive a prison sentence in the UK are referred for deportation at the earliest opportunity.”
