A victim of convicted sex offender Lord Ahmed of Rotherham has demanded the government strip him of his title. 'That title is bestowed upon people that have got some honour, some dignity, and he's got none of that,' the male victim told Newsnight.
Ahmed, who was tried under his real name Nazir Ahmed, is due to be sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday.
"We need to be able to expel from their titles as well as from the House, those who have been convicted of serious criminal offences," he said. Co-chair Shaista Gohir said it was wrong that Ahmed could continue to use his title and its associations of privilege. Mr B said reporting Ahmed had been daunting, and he was initially put off due to his abuser's "political clout" and his doubts about securing a conviction."I was quite worried in terms of the consequences of going to make a complaint against him in terms of what he might be able to do to me."
