A Tory spokesman said Khan, 48, was expelled “immediately” following a verdict in the Southwark Crown Court on Monday. Jurors found Khan guilty of forcing the teenager to drink gin and tonic, dragging him up, pushing him to a bed and asking him to watch pornography before attacking a Staffordshire home in January 2008. The victim made the complaint to police a few days after Hahn helped Prime Minister Boris Johnson win a large majority of the Commons by conquering Wakefield at the so-called “red wall” that had formed the heart of Labor in the Midlands and north of England. The MP was initially expelled from the party in view of Monday’s verdict, with the decision to be deleted after the jury’s decision was confirmed. Wakefield MP Imran Ahmad Khan arrives at Southwark Crown Court in London (EPA) But Khan’s defense team has since issued a promise to appeal his conviction, which could lead to delays in possible by-elections at his Wakefield headquarters. It comes after Labor demanded Kahn’s immediate resignation as a member of parliament following today’s ruling. A Labor spokesman said: “Imran Ahmad Khan should resign immediately so that by-elections can be held and the people of Wakefield get the representation they deserve.” Khan will be expelled from the House of Commons if he is sentenced to more than one year in prison, or else he may be asked to be expelled in the revocation process. The judge, Justice Baker, said he would sentence the disgraced MP at a later date. He released Khan on bail, saying: “You have been convicted by a jury for this sexual assault offense and you should be convicted in due course. “I make it clear that all sentencing options, including immediate detention, are being considered by the court.” Khan said the boy was upset and “sunk” out of a bedroom when their conversation turned to pornography. Khan denied sexually assaulting the teenager more than 10 years ago (EPA) He rejected any suggestion that their interaction was sexual in nature, instead saying he had been involved in a “philosophical” discussion about sexuality with the teen during the night. Asked if he had an agenda to talk about sexuality, he told the Southwark Crown Court: “No, absolutely not. Not at all. I was just trying to be polite and helpful to a young man who wanted to talk. “He seemed very willing to talk about it [sexuality]. “I think it would be rude or maybe a little harsh to shut him down.” In the wake of Khan’s conviction today, it also emerged that the MP had made efforts to exclude the media from mentioning his name on the charge of sexually assaulting the 15-year-old boy. In addition, the MP tried to block the age of his victim, his own homosexuality, and even his tendency for gin and tonic from being released to the public. Although he faced two costly legal challenges from the media, Khan’s attempt at secrecy failed.
