Former Tory MP Imran Ahmad Khan has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy. Khan, 48, was found guilty last month following a trial.
Following his conviction, he was expelled from the Conservative Party and resigned, triggering a by-election in the constituency of Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
