A Conservative MP has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy at a party.
Imran Ahmad Khan, who represents Wakefield, had denied groping the teenager at a house in Staffordshire in January 2008.
Southwark Crown Court heard Khan forced the youngster to drink gin, dragged him upstairs and asked him to watch pornography before assaulting him.
Khan, 48, was found guilty after a week-long trial.
An IS fanatic has been found guilty of murdering Sir David Amess MP.
The Southend West MP was stabbed more than 20 times during a constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex on 15 October 2021.
A jury at the Old Bailey took just 18 minutes to convict Ali Harbi Ali of murder and preparing acts of terrorism.
The 26-year-old from Kentish Town, north London, had denied the charges and claimed he targeted the MP over his vote for airstrikes on Syria.
Sir David's family sat in court just a short distance from Ali as the verdicts were delivered.
A paedophile climbed up a ladder and into a bedroom to sexually assault two sleeping little girls.
Convicted sex offender Luke McHugh was supposed to be locked into his secure accommodation on Knowsley’s Longmeadow Road and prevented from leaving without supervision. Yet the 20-year-old tampered with a window and escaped in the dead of night to launch his attack on a house in the local area in July last year.
Liverpool Crown Court heard today he was only stopped from sexually assaulting two girls in the house after their dad heard him get in. Nardeen Nemat, prosecuting, said McHugh planned his attack for days, using loud music and a request for quiet time from his support workers to sneak out of his room and spy on the house where his victims lived.
He was caught on CCTV lurking outside the home on numerous days leading up to the attack after seeing toys through the windows. Finally, he climbed into the back garden of the house, found a ladder and placed it against the wall under the bedroom window.
Hot weather meant it had been left ajar and McHugh climbed in before being disturbed by the girls’ dad. He then fled and went back to his accommodation without being apprehended.
The girls’ parents were initially unsure about the motivation for the break-in, believing it could be a burglary. However, police investigations later uncovered CCTV of a man later identified as McHugh visiting the house on numerous occasions before the attack.
When police arrested him in August they found a range of disturbing items in his bedroom in his accommodation unit. They included children’s toys and underwear, as well as nappies, condoms and sexual lubricant.
A twisted wife spent thousands raised on GoFundMe to buy gifts for her boyfriend, who is now accused of murdering her husband.
Jennifer Faith could face the death sentence for arranging the hit on Jamie Faith, who was gunned down while the couple were out walking their dog.
Last month, the 49-year-old admitted plotting the "cold-blooded murder" of her American Airlines manager partner, who was shot seven times by a masked man.
The black widow went on TV urging the gunman to come forward in the days after the killing on October 9, 2020, in Oak Cliff, Dallas, US.
And a fundraising account set up by neighbour Jennifer Svelan then raised $60,000 (£46,000) to help support her family.
But court documents show Faith lavished gifts on lover Darrin Lopez - who has since been charged with murder and is awaiting trial.
