Former TV Extra Rizwan Khan Jailed for 11 Years 9 Months for Raping Two Women

The Teesside judge imposed lifelong monitoring plus protective orders following a jury conviction in August.

Overview

  • Khan, 40, was sentenced at Teesside Crown Court to 11 years and nine months in prison on November 12.
  • He must sign the sex offenders' register for life and is subject to a sexual harm prevention order and restraining orders barring contact with three victims.
  • A jury previously found him guilty of two rapes, the sexual assault of one of the women, and a child cruelty offence, while acquitting him of four other rape charges.
  • Prosecutors said he told a victim, "I want what I want," as victims described violence, including one woman who awoke to find him assaulting her, with impact statements detailing anxiety and nightmares.
  • He continues to deny the offences, and the judge cited a report describing entitlement and hostility toward females; Khan had earlier told the court he had worked as a TV extra on shows including Hollyoaks and Vera.
