Reigate MP Crispin Blunt told the BBC he still believes Imran Ahmad Khan did not get a fair trial.

Mr Blunt told the BBC's Politics South East programme: "I remain confident [Khan] will win his appeal and I will be distressed about our justice system if he doesn't."Image source,In April, former Wakefield MP Imran Ahmad Khan was found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy in 2008

Southwark Crown Court heard he forced the boy to drink gin, dragged him upstairs and asked him to watch pornography before assaulting him. He claimed that the case against Khan had "relied on lazy tropes about LGBT+ people that we might have thought we had put behind us decades ago."Mr Blunt later said he had decided to retract his statement and insisted: "I do not condone any form of abuse and I strongly believe in the independence and integrity of the justice system."

His name is Crispin. Says it all really

Urggg, there all as bad as each other for sex crimes, remember the guy with the rent boys and he was from Labour another Muslim, Conservative no better, just what is going on in parliament, drugs, sex, booze, fighting there all nuts 😬

He can defend him if he appeals then. brispin clunt standing up for people's rights!!!

Hopefully Crispin Blunt will never come anywhere near my children. 😏

Sex offenders shold get life imprisomnment for their crime. Simple

I have a picture that says otherwise…

He is not one of them is he?

Well ....he would wouldnt he

Crispin needs to seriously have a think about what he’s saying unless of course there is more to it and more people involved and further investigation is required ?

Slow hanging for this crime (Exception to lift ban.)

Not surprised to see the Boris Broadcasting Company giving voice to the defender of a rapist.disgusted but not surprised.

Assume this is a dead cat for the other Conservatives sexual assault allegations about a senior Tory MP and date rape drugs. Wonder which senior Tory it is? 🤔

He needs to consider his position. How insulting to victims of sexual abuse. HoCStandards VictimSupport

In the real world another Tory sex pest! There are 56 MPs accused of sexual harassment or worse, one Tory is already being investigated for a series of sexual assa and rape! At what stage does Blunt realise MPs are a real danger to the public!

They all look after each other. Disgusting

He says it again after previously 'sincerely' apologising for saying it !! Absolutely unbelievable !

Total prat of an MP, who only seem to trust in law an order that affects everybody other than his mate who was found guilty of being a kiddie fiddler, make's you wonder how pally they really are

It would probably be quicker to list the Tory MPs who weren’t either on bail pending further enquiries or defending nonces

So a guy who didn't hear any of the witness testimony reckons CPS were wrong to run the case and the jury were wrong with their guilty verdict. Talk about blind loyalty to a friend!

i think it means that the sentence is never fair or high or severe enough.

reigate needs a bloody good look at itself

To be Blunt he's defending a proven nonce.

How more out of touch can Boris and his low moraled Tory party get.

I am the victim of sexual abuse, traumatised and still am but these people play the victim and blame the real victim, be careful, you need hard evidence, don't be too quick to judge someone.❤😟

The Tories would appear to be the party of sex offenders...

Did you mean “Conservative MP”? Disgusting.

Shameless

This is your take and what you choose to publish, seriously? Yo may as well scream 'the BBC loves pedophiles' from roof tops.

நிரப்பினால் தவறா?

Knowing how corrupt the tories are I’m suspicious Blunt has something to hide and Khan knows his secret

Do your opinion justice is the another mothers and sisters rape so where is your humanities and moral?

Tories just cannot help themselves ConservativesPartyOfSexOffenders

He looks a wrong un Nonce

once student president museveni of uganda is dead, we the real ugandans we are going to chase or kick out every foreigners hiding in buganda uganda and afrika.

Unfortunately the ‘I’ve not heard any evidence but know everything about this subject’ is too common these days

Oh dear, not again. Really time he went.

Blunt...rhymes with...
