A man identified as Abdul Khan is jailed after admitting or being found guilty of grooming and raping a 13-year-old girl. Sources report he pretended to be a teenager on Snapchat and attacked the girl in a nature reserve, after arranging contact online.
Multiple outlets say the case involves a significant age deception: Khan allegedly told the victim he was 14 when he was in his late twenties. BBC and others describe the attack following online grooming, while UK-focused reports specify he was jailed at Nottingham Crown Court.
Regarding punishment and immigration consequences, outlets differ slightly on emphasis and sentencing detail. Some reports describe a term of nearly 10 years, including a sentence of nine and a half years. Other sources add that he is expected to be deported to Afghanistan automatically after serving two-thirds of his sentence. One report also says an appeal related to the length of the sentence is being pursued following criticism by a Tory MP, while other outlets mainly summarize the conviction and outcome.
