Imran Khan thrown out of Conservative Party after being convicted of sexually assaulting 15-year-old boy

Convicted MP Imran Ahmad Khan has been expelled from the Conservative Party after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy. The Wakefield MP is yet to be sentenced after being found guilty of the offence at Southwark Crown Court on Monday (April 11).

The victim, now 29, told a jury he was left feeling “scared, vulnerable, numb, shocked and surprised” after Khan touched his feet and legs, coming within “a hair’s breadth” of his privates, as he went to sleep in a top bunkbed. He ran to his parents and a police report was made at the time, but no further action was taken because the
