Tory MP Imran Ahmad Khan has been found guilty at Southwark Crown Court of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy at a house in Staffordshire in 2008.
Mr Khan, 48, forced the boy to drink gin at a party 14 years ago before dragging him upstairs, pushing him onto a bed and asking him to watch pornography, a court heard.
The victim, now 29, told a jury he was left feeling “scared, vulnerable, numb, shocked and surprised” after Mr Khan touched his feet and legs, coming within “a hair’s breadth” of his privates as he went to sleep in a top bunkbed.
He alleged Mr Khan also watched him do pull-ups and told him he was “good looking” in a “love whisper” in his ear which was “disgusting and really slimy”.
The Conservative Party said the Wakefield MP has been expelled from the party with “immediate effect” after being convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy.
A by-election is now expected in Mr Khan’s Wakefield seat in West Yorkshire which he has held since 2019.
The victim informed his parents of the attack and a police report was made at the time but no further action was taken because the youngster did not want to make a formal complaint.
However, he told the court “it all came flooding back” when he learned Mr Khan would be standing in the General Election in December 2019.
The victim claimed he “wasn’t taken very seriously” when he made the allegation to the Conservative Party press office just days before the election which saw the Tory party win a large majority.
Mr Khan was sent a questionnaire by Staffordshire Police rather than being interviewed under caution at a station due to “Covid protocols in place at the time”.
The MP, who is gay and a Muslim, claims he only touched the teenager’s elbow when he “became extremely upset” after a conversation about his confused sexuality.
Mr Khan, who has been suspended by the Conservative Party, then claimed he was trying to be “kind” and “helpful” but the teenager became upset and “bolted” when the topic of pornography was raised.
He was found guilty by a jury at Southwark Crown Court on Monday by a jury after around five hours of deliberations.
Judge Mr Justice Baker said he will sentence Khan at a date to be fixed.
“All sentencing options, including immediate custody, are being considered by the court,” he said.
Janes Solicitors, the firm representing Khan, said in a statement: “Our client Imran Ahmad Khan MP maintains his innocence and will be appealing as soon as possible.”
