A former Imam has been jailed for life, when court heard that, he has been serially abused women and girls for more than ten years, while exploiting his position as religion leaders in East London.
Abdul Halim Khan 54, was sentencing on Friday at Snarebrook crown court in East London and ordered to spend at least, 20 years according to GBI.
He was found guilty on February 14 of 21 offences including nine counts of rape, four counts of sexual assaults women, five counts of sexual assaults of a child under 13, five counts of rape of a child under 13 and one count of assault by penetration.
The court heard that Khan targeted 7 women and girls, while working as imam in East London, using his position of trust to gain access to them and exert control.
He arranged meeting in secluded places and sometimes in victims' home where he carried out abuses while claiming he was a jinn(a supernatural spirit)

Prosecutors said, he also used threat link to "black magic" to frighten victim into silence, making them believed harm would come to them or their families if they speak out.

Police said, the abuses came to light in February 2018 when the youngest victim disclosed what happened to a teacher at school prompted a wider investigationsG

'Evil personified'

Cuthbert talked of Khan specifically targeting women and girls from the Bangladeshi Muslim community because of his standing and the shame the victims might feel in speaking out about sexual abuse.

"You behaved as if you were untouchable. You were confident that if they did come forward it would be you and not they who would be believed," Cuthbert told Khan.

The court heard statements from some of the victims who all spoke of the severely detrimental impact the attacks had caused, with one talking about having tried to take her own life.

One of Khan's victims, who said she was a child when she was abused, tearfully told the court: "To me, Khan is not a human being, he is evil personified."

'Remarkable bravery'

He was found guilty in February of nine counts of rape, four counts of sexual assault, two counts of sexual assault of a child under 13, five counts of rape of a child under 13 and one count of assault by penetration.

Despite his convictions, the court received letters of support for Khan from his family and some members of the community ahead of sentencing.

Det Ch Insp Jennie Ronan, whose team led the investigation, said: "Abdul Khan presented himself as a respectable man who could be trusted.

"However, this was far from the truth, and he instead preyed upon and took advantage of others.

"Today, I want to focus on the victim-survivors, who have shown remarkable bravery in reporting Khan and great strength throughout the trial."

Melissa Garner, specialist prosecutor at the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), said: "Abdul Halim Khan used their deeply held beliefs to instil fear and silence in them, making them believe their families would be at risk if they ever spoke out."

An NSPCC spokesperson said: "It is deeply disturbing that Khan abused his position as a trusted faith leader to commit sexual offences against girls and women using fear and manipulation to control and silence those he targeted."

Well deserved.

This is especially common with people of influence over the weak and vulnerable whom they can exploit.

Life with heavy labour would have been appropriate.

In Nigeria the victims would be forced to marry the imam even as they are underaged and the imam will receive praise from his brethren.

They would bring out religion sentiments, claiming they are percecuting a particular faith, before you know, the entire adherents would leave the subject matter and start fighting for gods.

It’s not money; it’s power. Power will bring out a man’s true nature or corrupt it. Whichever way, the majority of people will change when in a powerful position.

SEE THAT BLACK DOT ON HIS FOREHEAD.

If I talk now, they will say we hate Islam but let me keep quiet sha

Should it be a strange thing? I read of an Abuja pastor who did same, here on NL a few minutes ago. The Imam is a man and a human being first, before that title. Shame on those religous leaders who can't live by example. Sadly, they're the most sought after, by the devil, so their followers can fall and the reason they should be prayerful always in order to prevail over flesh

With sharia law, that guy for they free

Infact he might be doing the work of all hukar

A Religious leader unable to tame his appetite will come to ruin.
If you are looking godly and active in religious affairs but finding it difficult to tame some appetite or control sexual urges carefully turn down any high religious position neatly arranged and appointed for you.

This man doesn't want to wait for 70 virgins anymore

Somewhere in Nigeria, the imam will be shielded from justice.

Sharia criminal justice system punishes only women who commit adultery to be stoned to death.

" I am religious" that's always my first alarm bell.

And those making it about Islam should check the payments made by the Vatican for child abuse settlements.

Many horrible men have committed atrocities once in power.

Was shocked to see Afrika Bambaataa who died some days ago had tons of allegations!

Holy holy people, they do the worst, person way dem supposed depot back to Afghanistan, to continue his madness
