A young Melbourne man with links to the Apex street gang may be deported to his native Ethiopia after serving a sentence for a "disturbing" sexual assault on a teenage girl.
Bill Tang, 20, was found guilty of two counts of committing an indecent act with a child over a 2015 attack in which he and three other youths surrounded the girl and her friends at Cranbourne.
Defence lawyer Chris Pearson says Tang's permanent residency status had been revoked since the incident, causing his client anxiety.
