Imran Khan thrown out of Conservative Party after being convicted of sexually assaulting 15-year-old boy

Convicted MP Imran Ahmad Khan has been expelled from the Conservative Party after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy.

The Wakefield MP is yet to be sentenced after being found guilty of the offence at Southwark Crown Court on Monday (April 11).

A spokesman for the Tories said Khan, 48, had been expelled 'with immediate effect' following the decision. Jurors decided Khan was guilty after hearing how he forced the teenager to drink gin and tonic, dragged him upstairs, pushed him on to a bed and asked him to watch pornography before the attack at a house in Staffordshire in January 2008.

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