A 64-year-old former Labour peer
has been found guilty of attempting
to rape a young girl and sexually
assaulting a boy under 11 in the early 1970s.

A woman told Sheffield Crown Court
that Nazir Ahmed,
formerly Lord Ahmed of Rotherham,
attacked her when he was 16 or 17
but she was much younger.
He also assaulted a boy during the same period,
and was found guilty of two counts of
attempted rape and one of buggery.

After the woman went to the police in 2016,
she spoke to the male victim on the phone.

The jury heard a recording of their conversation,
which happened after the man emailed
to say he had "evidence against that paedophile".


Ahmed was charged along with
his two older brothers, Mohammed Farouq, 71,
and Mohammed Tariq, 65,
but both were deemed unfit to stand trial.
