Subayer Ahmed, who arrived in Britain from Bangladesh in 2009 on a student visa, is thought to have overstayed and to have used a fake passport to claim British citizenship.
The 29-year-old, of Burnley, Lancashire, used a false name to groom the 15-year-old and arranged to meet her in Manchester on August 11 last year.
While CCTV caught them together at the city’s Odeon cinema, the pair moved to a Travelodge where one member of staff saw the pair together – and thought something was wrong.
Emma Kehoe, prosecuting, told Burnley Crown Court: “One of the staff at the Travelodge saw an Asian man come into the Travelodge that evening, just before 10pm and she noticed a young female with him.
“She felt that the young female looked uncomfortable. She also felt she was far was too young to be with the Asian male.
“She became concerned about the well-being of that young girl and she contacted the police.”
