Saqib Khan 40

Description

A sex offender who broke into a Huddersfield home and sexually assaulted a child has been jailed.

Saqib Khan (40) of Hanson Lane in Huddersfield was sentenced to ten years in prison at Leeds Crown Court today (Thursday November 21st ) for sexually assaulting a child aged under 10 in an incident on April 20th. 

The 40-year-old had been found guilty of sexual assault at a trial in October.

Leeds Crown Court heard that Khan had made his way into the family home during the evening of April 20th ,  entered the child’s bedroom and committed a sexual assault.

The victim’s relatives heard a disturbance but were unable to gain entry to the room.

Instead the child’s father rang 999, went outside and then summoned help from two police officers who were passing the address.

They forced entry into the room and restrained and arrested Khan.

He was swiftly charged with a sexual assault offence following the incident.

The 40-year-old will have to sign on the Sex Offenders register for life following his release from prison and was made subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.

This order will make him subject to immediate arrest and prosecution if he breaches any of the terms set, on his release from prison.
