Khan was also ordered to remain on the sex offenders register indefinitely and faces automatic deportation after serving two-thirds of his sentence.
- On Monday, Abdul Khan was sentenced to nine and a half years at Nottingham Crown Court after a jury convicted him of two counts of rape and multiple child sexual offences involving a 13-year-old.
- Posing as a 14-year-old on Snapchat under the name 'Abs,' Khan groomed the victim before arranging a meeting at a Clifton tram stop in May 2025, where she later realized he was older than claimed.
- DNA evidence recovered from the girl's school trousers and messages from a phone seized during a separate grooming investigation linked Khan to the attack, overcoming his denials.
- Judge Mark Watson dismissed Khan's identity claims as 'nonsensical,' describing him as deliberately concealing his true age, and ordered his automatic deportation to Afghanistan after serving two-thirds of his sentence.
- The victim described feeling 'numb' and experiencing flashbacks, while Nottinghamshire Police Detective Constable Madeleine Johnson labeled Khan an 'opportunistic and predatory offender' who posed a risk to teenage girls.
