Conservative British MP Imran Ahmad Khan – not to be confused with the Conservative now former Pakistani PM Imran Ahmad Khan (thought they were going to have different middle names, haha) – has been convicted of sexually molesting a then-15 year old boy after getting him drunk on gin at a party in 2008, the Guardian reports. Khan has already been booted from the party and faces automatic expulsion from Parliament if he receives a sentence of over 12 months. The right wing groomer had tried to suppress media coverage of the trial, arguing that because alcohol and homosexuality are forbidden in Islam his life was in danger from extremist vigilantes.
A number of details in the article stick out, and would seem to indicate that this incident possibly occurred at a UK Conservative Party function and not a social occasion among the British Pakistani community. First, the article refers to the victim as a “Catholic teenager” for some reason, without context. Secondly, the boy’s brother, 18 at the time, said Khan had looked up his kilt and asked if he was a “True Scotsman” which in this context means that he was wearing it without underwear, per Scottish tradition. Another man testified that Khan had molested him in a guest house in Peshawar, Pakistan after getting him drunk and high during an official trip there, also indicating that Khan is the kind of sick asshole who would use his position to get his jollies.
