A former Tory MP who was convicted of sexually assaulting a teenage boy is due to be released from jail as early as today after serving half of his sentence.
A former Tory MP, who was convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old in 2008, could be released from jail as early as today as serving half of his sentence.
Imran Ahmad Khan, who was MP for Wakefield from 2019 to 2022, was jailed for 18 months in May after he was found guilty of groping a teenage boy at a party in Staffordshire in 2008. He is now set to be released on probation after serving 9 months of his 18 month sentence in Brixton prison. Khan could be released as early as today, according to The Times.Khan's win in Wakefield was a significant factor in Boris Johnson taking the former red wall from Labour. He was expelled from the Conservative party after the conviction and later stood down as MP for Wakefield.
Khan forced the boy to drink alcohol, pushed him on to a bed and asked him to watch pornography before he launched his attack at a house in Staffordshire in January 2008. The court was told that a police report was made at the time concerning the incident, but the teenager refused to make a formal complaint so no further action was taken."The only regret you feel is towards yourself for having found yourself in the predicament you face as a result of your actions some 14 years ago," he said.
