| Description | A Tory MP is to stand trial charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in 2008.
Imran Ahmad Khan, 47, the Conservative MP for Wakefield, West Yorkshire, is alleged to have groped the teenager in Staffordshire.
Mr Ahmad Khan, who was elected in 2019, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday to deny the charge.
In a statement his solicitor said he "strenuously denies the accusation and it will be vigorously defended".
Details of the charge can only now be reported after reporting restrictions were lifted on Friday.
During Thursday's hearing Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring said the case was not suitable for trial in the magistrates' court and sent the case to the Old Bailey. |
