A British lawmaker from Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s ruling Conservative party was found guilty on Monday of sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy after trying to force him to drink alcohol before assaulting him.
Imran Ahmad Khan, 48, who represents the Wakefield area in northern England , had denied the allegation but was convicted of assaulting the boy at a house in 2008.
The victim decided not to proceed with a complaint at the time, but when Ahmad Khan was elected to parliament in 2019, he pursued the case.
