A London imam, 54, convicted of 21 sexual offences, including nine rapes, against seven victims as young as 12, abused his religious authority to manipulate and control them.
Abdul Halim Khan, 54, a former London imam, has been convicted of 21 sexual offences, including nine rapes and multiple assaults, committed against seven victims—some as young as 12—between 2004 and 2015.
Prosecutors said he abused his religious authority, falsely claiming spiritual possession by a jinn and threatening victims with black magic to maintain control.
The case emerged in 2018 when the youngest victim reported abuse to a teacher.
Khan denied all charges, alleging a conspiracy, but was found guilty at Snaresbrook Crown Court and remanded in custody ahead of sentencing on May 14.
Survivors spoke of lasting trauma and praised investigators for their support, with authorities emphasizing the importance of holding powerful abusers accountable and believing survivors.
