The former charity worker, jailed for 4 years after raping a woman in Glasgow - and then going on to her Facebook to post admitting the rape - lodged the asylum request whilst being held on remand for the crime.
At the time he carried out the attack Sswagudde was in Scotland illegally, his visitors visa having expired.
According to a source quoted by the Scottish Daily Record, who broke the story, "He is milking the system and the situation in Uganda for all he can. He had been in Scotland for three years but he didn't say anything about his sexuality until he found himself in jail".
Uganda has an abysmal track record on its treatment of homosexuals, where the act is criminal, and where vigilante beatings and murders are becoming increasingly commonplace. Some in political circles there have been pushing for homosexuality to be punished by the death penalty.
Despite this we still fund Uganda with huge amounts of foreign aid - the Department for International Development says we will spend £98million a year there until 2015 - and the EU aid budget lavishes even more money on the country, but that's another story.
Recent rulings in the UK have established someone's fear of persecution for their sexuality as grounds to remain in the UK, with, for example, a recent case where a Jamaican lesbian residing in Stoke on Trent won her case against removal from the UK in the Upper Tribunals Immigration and Asylum Chamber.
Gay is fast becoming a get out of jail - or deportation from the UK - free card for people originating from certain countries, and, as predicted, the number of people seeking to exploit this and who suddenly decide that they are homosexual is increasing.
Expect far more foreign criminals to use the same ploy to remain in the UK once they have served their sentences for heinous crimes.
