Imran Ahmad Khan, 49, was jailed for 18 months at Southwark Crown Court in May, after being found guilty of sexual assaulting the teenager after a party in 2008.Khan forced the boy to drink gin and tonic, pushed him on to a bed and asked him to watch pornography before he launched his attack at a house in Staffordshire in January 2008.
He claimed he wanted to be "kind" to the teenager but the ex Tory, who is gay, was found guilty by a jury.He has already said he will appeal against his conviction, and has resigned his seat. Khan brought an appeal against his conviction and sentence, which was heard at the Court of Appeal in November.
