64-year-old Nazir Ahmed, former Lord Ahmed of Rotherham until he resigned in 2020, has been found guilty of sexually assaulting two children 40 years ago. 

He has been jailed for five years and six months for attempting to rape a child. 

At the start of January, Nazir Ahmed was found guilty of attempting to rape a young girl in the 1970s when he was a teenager.

Along with this, he is also found guilty of the historic offence of buggery against a boy under 11, also in the early 1970s.

Throughout his career, Ahmed was both a Labour and non-affiliated peer. British-Pakistani Lord Nazir Ahmed was found guilty of child sex offences. He has been a huge supporter of Khalistani terror groups and has had an anti-Indian government sentiment. 

Tom Little QC, prosecuting, told the jury: "I have evidence against that paedophile."

Initially, Ahmed had denied all the charges was until he was found guilty of attempting rape and buggery. 

Ahmed's two older brothers Mohammed Farouq, 71, and Mohammed Tariq, 65, faced charges of indecent assault to the same boy that Ahmed abused, but both these men were deemed unfit to stand trial.
