AN IMAM accused of sexually assaulting two boys told a court that one of the alleged victims asked to massage his shoulders as a “sign of respect”.
CCTV was seen by the jury at Nottingham Crown Court which showed Muslim leader Mohammed Hanif Khan tapping his shoulders, before the boy massaged him.
Khan, of Owler Lane, Sheffield, denies three counts of rape, four counts of attempted rape and one count of sexual activity with a child.
Prosecutor Tariq Bin Shakoor asked Khan: “Are you saying the boy indicated a wish to massage your shoulders?”
Khan replied: “Yes. The day before he saw one of my friends in the congregation massaging my shoulders.
“It’s a sign of respect.
“He asked if he could do it but I said ‘no, go home’.”
Mr Shakoor asked: “Were you grooming this boy?”
Khan replied: “No, I wasn’t grooming him.”
Khan was asked why he didn’t tell the police that on occasions he had his shoulders massaged by students.
Khan told the court: “When they asked me if I had any physical contact with any child I thought they meant whether I had hit them, not a tap on the back of the head or shoulders.
“Massaging shoulders isn’t an abnormal thing.
“There were more serious thoughts crossing my mind at the time.”
When asked if he had approached the other boy, who claims Khan had tried to rape him when he stayed over at his home, to massage his shoulders, Khan said: “No”.
The trial continues.
