Imran Nasir Ahmad-Khan (born 6 September 1973) is a British former politician and convicted sex offender. He served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Wakefield from the 2019 general election until 2022. Elected as a Conservative, Ahmad Khan had the party whip withdrawn in June 2021; he was subsequently expelled from the party following his criminal conviction for child sexual assault in 2022.
The victim was a young teenage boy. Khan supposedly dragged him up a flight of stairs and forced him to drink gin and tonic before watching pornography and then attacked him.
