A man convicted of sexually assaulting a nine-year-old boy has received a prison sentence.
During the hearing at Bolton Crown Court, it was revealed that Khurram Shazad, who emigrated to the UK from Pakistan two years prior, will face automatic deportation following his imprisonment.
The 29-year-old, residing on Deane Road in Bolton, pleaded guilty to charges of sexual assault by penetration.
The incident involved the victim, who was visiting a household where Shazad was present on February 12 this year, being led to an attic room where the assault occurred.
The boy had gone willingly, believing he was going to receive sweets.
When the child’s mother came to pick him up, he disclosed what had happened, which resulted in his hospitalization and the subsequent arrest of Shazad early the next day.
The child's mother told the court that the boy has been significantly impacted by the incident, exhibiting mood swings and erratic behavior.
Shazad, who recently married and is a father to a three-month-old, was employed as a barber but lost his business while in custody.
Although he admitted to the offence, his defense argued that he found it difficult to comprehend his actions.
He was sentenced to three years and four months in prison and will be required to register as a sex offender.
