Lord Ahmed of Rotherham to face trial on child sex charges

 

A member of the House of Lords will go on trial in December charged with historical sexual offences against children.

 

Lord Ahmed of Rotherham appeared for a brief hearing before a judge at Sheffield Crown Court.

 

He is charged with a serious sexual assault and indecent assault against a boy under the age of 11.

 

The 61-year-old is also charged with two counts of attempting to rape a girl who was under the age of 16.

 

The charges relate to dates between 1971 and 1974.

 

The peer, of East Bawtry Road, Rotherham, appeared under his name Nazir Ahmed along with two of his brothers.

 

Mohammed Farouq, 68, of Worrygoose Lane, Rotherham, is charged with four counts of indecent assault against a boy.

 

One of these counts relates to when the boy was under eight, in the late 1960s.

 

Mohammed Tariq, 63, of Gerard Road, Rotherham, is charged with two counts of indecent assault against a boy under 11.

 

The peer, who resigned from the Labour Party in 2013, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and nationality.

 

During a 20-minute hearing, Judge Jeremy Richardson QC fixed the trial date for all three men for 2 December.

 

He said a further hearing would be held on 14 June and released all three on bail.

Fatal road crash and subsequent jail sentence

On 25 December 2007, Ahmed was involved in a crash on the M1 motorway near Rotherham in which Martin Gombar, 28, was killed. Gombar's car had been involved in a crash and he had left it in the outer lane. Apparently trying to return to his vehicle from the hard shoulder he was hit by Ahmed, who was driving his Jaguar X-Type. Ahmed's wife and mother, who were passengers in the car, also received minor injuries.[38]

 

On 1 December 2008, Ahmed appeared at Sheffield Magistrates' Court in connection with a charge of dangerous driving. Ahmed admitted sending and receiving five text messages on his phone while driving two minutes before the crash, and pleaded guilty to the charge before him. He was banned from driving until his sentencing. On 22 December, Sheffield Magistrates' Court referred the case for sentencing at the Crown Court on 19 January due to its "aggravating features".[39] This was later put back until 25 February.[40] Ahmed was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison by the presiding judge, Mr Justice Wilkie, which meant he would serve six actual weeks in jail, and he was disqualified from driving for 12 months.[41][42]

 

On 12 March 2009 Ahmed was freed by the Court of Appeal. Lady Justice Hallett said it was important to state that Ahmed's offence was one of dangerous driving, not of causing death by dangerous driving. Hallett said that there was "little or nothing" Ahmed could have done to avoid the collision and that after being knocked unconscious, he had come to and "risked his life trying to flag down other vehicles to stop them colliding with the Audi or his car". She said that while his prison sentence had been justified, the court had been persuaded it could now take an "exceptional" course and suspend the sentence for 12 months.[43] He was freed just 16 days into his sentence.[44]

 

In subsequent interviews, Ahmed has incorrectly stated that he has no criminal record and that his sentence was overturned.[45][46]
