A female mayor was today jailed for three years for helping her son hide incriminating evidence after he raped an unconscious 15 year old girl.

Naheed Ejaz, 61, was slammed by a judge for trying to cover up her son’s crime after he raped the teenager while she was blacked out.

Ejaz refused to let police officers into her home for over a minute and a half and spoke Urdu to her son, Diwan Khan, so he could hide his phone which contained damning evidence.

A court heard today that the girl failed her GCSEs and tried to kill herself following the attack.

She helped her son ‘conceal’ his phone, which is said to have had the sex attack on it. It was never recovered.

Ejaz was found guilty of perverting the course of justice and was today jailed for three years at Winchester Crown Court, Hants.

Khan was jailed for 12 years.

Sentencing Ejaz, His Honour Judge Rufus Taylor said that she had shown ‘no remorse’ for her offences.

The judge said: “You, Naheed Ejaz, may not have known initially why he wanted you to hide [the phone], but your son told you in Urdu ‘Some motherf****r girl has lied about her age to me’ and you chose to protect him.”

Judge Taylor said Ejaz knew it ‘involved an underage girl’.

The judge continued: “Due to your actions, there was a real risk Khan might have avoided prosecution for the rape of an unconscious child.”

Khan – who was Consort of the Mayor during his mother’s tenure – was convicted of raping the 15 year old girl. He had already admitted perverting the course of justice in relation to hiding his phone.

He was sentenced to 12 years in prison, with an extended licence period of five years, for the rape.

It was heard Khan raped the young girl after she ‘blacked out’ from the MDMA that he supplied and put in vodka for her to drink. The teenager woke up in the backseat of his car with no clothes on and she could not remember what had happened.

However, Khan showed her the video that he filmed of him having sex with her, choking and slapping her in the face. Khan, who appeared alongside his mother for official functions, threatened her by messaging her to say that he would show her mother the video if she said anything and that she ‘belonged’ to him.

He even sent her the video and told her that he would ‘slit her throat’ if she told anyone.
