An Imam at a mosque in Bradford has been jailed for 13 years for ra**ng a teenage boy.
Mohammed Khan, 57, used his position at Suffa Tul Islam Mosque, then on Sunbridge Road, to groom and assault the boy on five separate occasions during the 1990s.
Bradford Crown Court heard Khan, from Sheffield, had previously been jailed for 16 years in 2011 for sexually assaulting two boys in Stoke-on-Trent in 2009.
Judge Christopher Smith said: "You were a respected member of the teaching staff, but your outward respectful appearance masked a devious and perverted sexual interest in pubescent boys."
