Conservative Party press office did not take 'very seriously' the allegation that would-be MP Imran Ahmad Khan had sexually abused 15-year-old boy when 'victim' told them about it days before 2019 election, court hears

Imran Khan MP is accused of sexually assaulting a boy, 15, in January 2008

The Wakefield MP, 48, is alleged to have attacked the boy in Staffordshire

The alleged victim claims Khan tried to ply him with alcohol before the assault

 

The Conservative Party press office did not take 'very seriously' allegations that a 15-year-old boy was sexually assaulted by a man who later stood as an election candidate, a court has heard.

 

Imran Ahmad Khan, 48, allegedly forced the youngster to drink gin and tonic, dragged him upstairs and asked him to watch pornography before groping him in a bunk bed following a party in January 2008.

 

The then-teenager did not want to make a formal complaint at the time but told Southwark Crown Court 'it all came flooding back' when he discovered Khan was standing to become the MP for Wakefield in West Yorkshire in the December 2019 general election.

 

Giving evidence at Southwark Crown Court today, the alleged victim's parents both broke down in tears as they told how their son was left 'inconsolable' and 'shaking' after the incident at a house in Staffordshire.

 

He went to police days after Khan helped Prime Minister Boris Johnson win a large Commons majority by taking the constituency in the so-called 'red wall' that had formed Labour's heartlands in the Midlands and northern England.

 

But the alleged victim, who voted Labour, told a jury on Thursday that his complaint was 'not motivated by political reasons'.

 

'If it was, I would've done it before the general election,' he said.

 

'I also contacted the Tory press office, trying to inform them what had happened.

 

'I wasn't taken very seriously.'

 

He continued: 'I explained that Imran Khan was running for MP and had just sort of been hurriedly put through.

 

'I explained this and said 'He sexually assaulted me when I was a child, when I was 15'.'

 

He said the woman he spoke to sounded 'shocked' and passed him on to someone else who sounded more 'stern' and asked if he had any 'proof'.

 

'I said "Yes, there's a police report" and she said "Well…", and that was it.

 

'I said "I'm going to the police", and she said "Well, you do that".'

 

Khan, who was 34 at the time, denies a single count of sexual assault over the alleged incident involving the schoolboy at a house in Staffordshire.

 

The MP, who is gay and a Muslim, claims he only touched the Catholic teenager's elbow when he "became extremely upset" after a conversation about his confused sexuality.

 

Khan's barrister, Gudrun Young QC, suggested in cross-examination that the complainant has given three 'contradictory' accounts - a police report in 2008, and police interviews in 2019 and 2021.

 

She suggested the man, who has trained as an actor, is 'literally making this up' and reliving a 'drama you are convinced of in your own mind'.

 

But the alleged victim insisted he is telling the truth, telling the court: 'I am not a liar.'

 

The complainant's father broke down in tears in the witness box as he told how his son was 'inconsolable' after the alleged attack.

 

'He went into shock, he was shaking, crying and it seemed like hours until I got the words out "I was molested",' he said.

 

The alleged victim's mother said Khan had seemed like a 'very charming man' who she believed was 'foreign royalty', while she described her son as an 'absolutely joyous boy' who she had tried to bring up in an 'Enid Blyton existence'.

 

She said: 'He was a young child, he was a boy. He wasn't a man, and I think that is what has upset me the most about all of this.

 

'He was a child when he went upstairs that night and he suddenly had to face what he had to face.'

 

She wept as she added: 'I will never, for as long as I live, forget this: (My son) just shaking and shaking and shaking.

 

'I couldn't get any sense out of him. I just grabbed him and tried to calm him and stop him shaking.

 

'He was speaking in hushed tones and was just saying "He was trying to feel me, he was trying to feel me".'

 

The trial continues.

PICTURED: Boy, 12, who died suddenly at school of suspected heart attack and whose last words to his family were 'I love you'

 

Ryan Heffernan, 12, died at Monday lunchtime at Shoeburyness High School

The youngster collapsed after playing with friends during the lunch break

Police said Ryan's death is 'unexplained' but ruled out third-party involvement

 

A 12-year-old boy who tragically died while playing with his friends at school in Essex told his family 'I love you' as he left his home for the final time.

 

Ryan Heffernan, 12, collapsed on Monday at Shoeburyness High School and died a short time afterwards.

 

Emergency services, including an air ambulance were deployed to the scene, but sadly Ryan was declared dead a short time later.

 

Fellow pupils at the school are being supported by specialist counsellors following Monday's tragic events.

 

Floral tributes have been laid underneath the entrance sign of the school, where Ryan had been a pupil since September.

 

A GoFundMe appeal for the youngster's family to assist in the cost of his funeral has so far raised more than £14,000.

 

Friends and fellow pupils at Shoeburyness High School have left tributes for the departed scholar.

 

One note reads: 'Fly high', while another says: 'I didn't know you but I hope you rest in peace'. Meanwhile, an online fundraising page has been set up by a friend on GoFundMe to raise money to help his parents Mike and Catherine with the cost of Ryan's funeral.

 

'He was only in his first year of senior school, a year 7 student on his lunch break when he was sadly taken. No parent should have to endure this pain, I cannot begin to imagine how hard it must be to process.'

 

Essex Police has launched an investigation into his death, which is being described as 'unexplained' while ruling out any third-party involvement.

Acharge against a West Virginia University student previously accused of making terroristic threats was dismissed without prejudice in 2021, according to court documents obtained by CNN.

 

The then-21-year-old freshman student was arrested in May 2019 after authorities said they learned he had threatened to carry out a "shooting spree," university police said at the time.

 

Court documents signed by three judges in June 2021, as well as a letter from the student's defense attorney, confirm the charge was ordered dismissed. The clerk of court for Monongalia County also confirmed to CNN over the phone that the case was dismissed.

 

In May 2019, Deputy Chief Phil Scott said police had received a tip that the student had spoken about carrying out a shooting at the school in Morgantown, West Virginia, and then killing themself. No weapons were found at his residence.

 

His arrest came a day after a shooting at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, which left two people dead and four wounded.

 

"Our number one concern is always the safety of the University community and this provides an example of the system working exactly the way it should," Chief W.P. Chedester said in the statement at the time. "Someone saw something and said something. We investigated and found sufficient reason to take action, all within less than 24 hours."
