Paedophile MP Imran Ahmad Khan released from prison after serving just half of jail sentence

DISGRACED former Tory MP and paedophile Imran Ahmad Khan was freed from jail today after serving only half of his sentence.

The 49-year-old was locked up in May last year after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy at a party in 2008.

Khan left HMP Brixton this morning, where he was met by pals who helped him carry belongings to a car.

As he walked out with scraggly hair and a long beard, his former agent and Wakefield councillor was heard calling out: “I wonder if you had anything to say to the people of Wakefield who voted for you in their droves, or whether you’ve got any sort of apology?

“I came all this way to see if you’ve got an apology for the people of Wakefield, who voted for you and who you manifestly let down.”

The ex-Wakefield MP was let out early in accordance with sentencing rules, which say criminals serving less than two years should be freed at the halfway point.

Khan stood down as an MP last year following his guilty verdict and having the Tory whip suspended.

During the former politician’s trial, jurors heard how he gave his victim gin, pushed him onto a bed and asked him to watch porn at a 21st birthday party.

The lad, who is now 29, froze in terror as Khan, 48, touched his feet and legs, coming within a “hair’s breadth” of his private parts.

He said he felt “scared, vulnerable, numb, shocked and surprised” during the assault.

Khan said he only touched the teen’s elbow when the victim became “extremely upset” during a conversation about his sexuality.

He admitted asking the boy, a Catholic, whether he watched pornography during a “philosophical, moralistic and theological” discussion.

However, he denied sexual assault, claiming he was simply trying to be “kind and “helpful” and insisting the victim had lied.

But in April jurors found him guilty following a trial at Southwark Crown Court in London.
