Wakefield: A man named Khuram Rashid has been sentenced. He got over five years for abusing a young boy. Rashid tried to cover it up with a game called “ants in pants.”

In court, it was clear he was still in denial. Even after a jury found him guilty of three sexual assault charges, he didn’t admit to his actions. The boy’s mother shared how they felt pressured to forgive him, while their own feelings were ignored.

Rashid was once seen as a good guy. He had a managerial job and was respected at work. But the judge pointed out his grooming behavior. He dressed up his actions as innocent fun, which was far from the truth.

When questioned, Rashid laughed and claimed the boy was confused. He insisted they were just playing games. The judge noted that Rashid denied everything, even during the trial.

In the end, the judge sentenced him to five years and three months. He said Rashid’s actions deeply affected the boy and his family. Rashid will now have to register as a sex offender for life and follow strict rules about contact with boys under 16. It’s a serious consequence for his actions.
