A spiritual leader has been found guilty of three counts of indecently assaulting a boy in a mosque's attic. Mohammed Rabani, 61, who was imam at a mosque in Sneinton, Nottinghamshire, for more than 25 years, denied the charges but was found guilty at trial.
The indecent touching happened from 1990 to 1992 and at the time the victim was aged 12 to 13. The judge at Nottingham Crown Court told Rabani "a prison sentence is inevitable" when he is sentenced.
Rabani's victim went to the police in 2015, more than 20 years after the assaults took place. Rabani, from Nottinghamshire, left court surrounded by supporters. He was released on conditional bail until sentencing on 31 May.
