Inside the bizarre social media profiles of freed asylum seeker paedophile who ran a child prostitution ring and traded cigarettes for sex with girl, 13 – as he’s now behind bars after ‘contacting a minor’

A convicted pedophile released from immigration detention by a High Court order is back behind bars after using his freedom to return to social media and allegedly using it to contact minors.

Emran Dad, 33, was arrested yesterday morning in Dandenong, southeast of Melbourne, and charged with nine counts of failing to comply with his reporting obligations as a registered sex offender, as well as a charge of trespassing.

The alleged violations included the Pope returning to Instagram, Bigo and TikTok, where he posted a bizarre video of himself unboxing large wraparound sunglasses.

Emraan Dad, a released asylum seeker from Afghanistan, posted a bizarre video on TikTok of himself unboxing new sunglasses before he was arrested on charges of breaching sex crimes reporting obligations.

He eagerly opens the box, wearing a red shirt, cap and white shorts to the sound of Indian pop music.

“Too wild,” he says, eagerly opening the box as the distortion filter occasionally makes his facial features disproportionate.

“Damn, these are the glasses I ordered,” he says to the camera and starts dancing.

In another post, he poses for a black-and-white shot while a cartoon voice says, “I kind of feel bad,” and sad music plays.

His profile picture shows him wearing an orange pullover, headdress and headphones, with large reflective sunglasses and cartoon GIFs of French fries and a flexing figure.

The 33-year-old dad showed his joy at getting new sunglasses by dancing in the bizarre video.

Dad, originally from Afghanistan, allegedly ran a prostitution ring targeting underage girls in state custody and was jailed in 2012 for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in exchange for cigarettes.

He told police at the time that he did not know he was not allowed to have sex with girls under 16 because the law did not exist in his native Afghanistan.

In 2017, the dad pleaded guilty to having sex with another 13-year-old girl who was a ward of the state.

At a brief remand hearing yesterday afternoon, the dad refused to apply for bail.

The court heard the father had an intellectual disability that went largely untreated while he remained in immigration custody.

He also complained of difficulty breathing while in custody.

The dad’s lawyer asked that his client be treated by a prison nurse before he was sent back to prison.

The father faces nine charges of failing to comply with his reporting obligations as a registered sex offender.

Although the dad’s lawyer had hoped to return on Wednesday to make the application, he was told that would now not be possible until December 14th.

Registered sex offenders living in Victoria are also subject to significant and stringent reporting obligations as required by the Sex Offender Registration Act 2004,” Victoria Police said in a statement.

“They are required to provide a range of information about their personal circumstances on a regular basis and may have an individual offender management plan which will vary depending on the level of risk.”

Meanwhile, a fourth asylum seeker was released from detention indefinitely following a controversial High Court ruling and was arrested and charged.

The 45-year-old man was arrested at a Melbourne hotel and charged with one count of theft and breach of curfew, Australian Federal Police said in a statement.

Australian Federal Police officers say a Sudanese man stole luggage from a traveler sleeping at Melbourne Airport.

The High Court’s decision against indefinite detention on 8 November resulted in the release of 148 non-citizens, many of whom had serious criminal records.

This created a political crisis for the Albana government, calling for Immigration Minister Adam Giles and Home Secretary Claire O’Neill to resign or be sacked due to their unpreparedness and inability to handle the situation.
