@offenceregister: Lord Nazir Ahmed • The Case: The former Labour peer and member of the House of Lords was charged by South Yorkshire Police with historical child sexual offences dating back to the 1970s involving two young relatives. • Legal Outcome: In January 2022, Sheffield Crown Court convicted Ahmed of attempted rape and indecent assault against a boy and a girl. He was sentenced to five and a half years in prison after resigning from the House of Lords. • Summary & Case Details: Nazir Ahmed became the UK's first Muslim peer upon his appointment to the House of Lords in 1998, holding a prominent position in British public life for over two decades. In March 2019, South Yorkshire Police formally charged Ahmed with non-recent sexual crimes following reports from two family members regarding events that occurred in Rotherham during the early 1970s, when Ahmed was a teenager and the victims were young children. The trial presented harrowing evidence detailing how Ahmed used his age and family standing to carry out repeated physical abuse, attempted rape, and indecent assaults against a boy under ten and a young girl. Facing formal expulsion from Parliament, Ahmed resigned his peerage in November 2020 shortly before the Conduct Committee released a report recommending his permanent removal. At Sheffield Crown Court in January 2022, the jury returned guilty verdicts on two counts of attempted rape and one count of indecent assault. The presiding judge sentenced the former peer to five years and six months in prison, noting the lasting psychological harm inflicted upon the victims.
