He served eight years in prison but has always strongly denied the charge. Speaking to The Voice, he made a plea to the Queen, asking to be let into the country, "Dear Queen, madame: I would like some help from whatever authority can help…I need to be in the UK so that I can help to unite the people because I know there is a lot of love for me there.
