AN asylum seeker who argued he cannot be deported because he is a “sex toy smuggler” has won his fight to remain in Britain.

The Iranian applied for refugee status in the UK, claiming that authorities in his home country looked on him “adversely” due to his illicit business activities.

He claimed to have ferried boxes of adult devices across the border.

Under Islamic law, sex toys are illegal and there is a ban on bringing them into Iran.

The man, who has not been named, put forward his unusual case at the British asylum court.
