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

The Teesside judge imposed lifetime monitoring following victim statements describing lasting trauma.

Overview

  • Khan, 40, was sentenced at Teesside Crown Court to 11 years and nine months in custody.
  • He must sign the sex offenders' register for life and is subject to a sexual harm prevention order and restraining orders barring contact with the victims.
  • A jury in August convicted him of raping two women, sexually assaulting one of them, and causing unnecessary suffering to a child, while acquitting him of four additional rape counts.
  • Testimony detailed one woman waking to find him assaulting her and another being told, "I need what I need... you, as a woman, should abide by what a man wants" before he raped her.
  • His barrister said he continues to deny the offences, and the judge cited a pre-sentence report noting entitlement and hostility towards females, as victim statements described anxiety and nightmares.
