Robert Jenrick stated that 40% of sexual crimes in London last year involved foreign nationals, citing data from the Centre for Migration Control. The statistics from the Metropolitan police include defendants brought to court, not those convicted. In 2024, there were 14,242 defendants for sexual offenses but only 8,098 convictions. Jenrick claimed that Afghans and Eritrean nationals have a conviction rate 20 times higher than British nationals; however, this figure appears to be based on outdated population data, likely underestimating their actual numbers in the UK.
