Dismissing the conviction appeal, Mr Justice Sweeney, sitting with Dame Victoria Sharp and Mr Justice Linden, said:"The judge was plainly entitled to conclude that the prosecution case in relation to complaint was not weak. Indeed, in our view, the case was far from weak."
He added:"In our view, on the particular facts of this case, he was entitled to reach that conclusion."Khan's appeal hearing last month was attended by the Conservative MP for Reigate, Crispin Blunt, who previously claimed Khan's conviction was"a serious miscarriage of justice". The Crown Court also heard how he forced the then teenager to drink gin and tonic and asked him to watch pornography before the attack at a house in Staffordshire, after a party in January 2008.The victim, who cannot be identified, said he was left feeling"scared, vulnerable, numb, shocked and surprised" after Khan, then 34, touched his feet and legs, coming within"a hair's breadth" of his privates, as he went to sleep in a top bunk bed.
Khan, who is gay and a Muslim, claimed he only touched the Catholic teenager's elbow when he"became extremely upset" after a conversation about his confused sexuality.The politician said he was trying to be"kind" and"helpful", but the boy became upset and"bolted" when the topic of pornography was raised. Khan was found guilty of a single count of sexual assault after about five hours of deliberations by a jury.
