A Glasgow car mechanic raped two men that he met on Grindr app said it was “just for a bit of fun” he is also known to be a notorious figure in Scotland’s Asian gangster underworld.<\/p>\n
Omar Mohammed Khan 28, kept his sexuality a secret, has been jailed for two appalling rapes.<\/p>\n
Scottish born mechanic and a 17-year-old Slovakian national, who can\u2019t be named for legal reasons, preyed on their terrified victims after contacting them via the meet-up app for gay men.<\/p>\n
Khan was caught up in a gang vendetta involving the family of Imran Shahid, who killed innocent teenager Kriss Donald in March 2004.<\/p>\n
Khan and the teenager arranged to meet a 30-year-old man at his home on September 3 last year after chatting with him on Grindr.<\/p>\n
There was a consensual sex act between him and the teenager before Khan grabbed the man by the arm and pushed him against a wall while the teenager raped him.<\/p>\n
Khan and the Slovakian attacked their second victim in Glasgow a week later.<\/p>\n
The student victim told the court he had been threatened with violence before Khan forced him to perform a sex act on him.<\/p>\n
Judge Lord Uist also sentenced the Slovakian to eight years\u2019 detention. Both were told they would be supervised by the authorities for two years following their release from custody.<\/p>\n
Khan, who worked at family business Khan’s Autos, told a social worker the crimes were \u201cjust a bit of fun\u201d.<\/p>\n
Another Slovakian, Julius Horvath, 20, from Glasgow, and Khan\u2019s friend Afzaal Hassan, 20, from West Calder, West Lothian, were also found guilty of luring a 40-year-old man to a deserted industrial estate to attack and rob him.<\/p>\n
Horvath had driven to a crime scene in a car with \u201cKhan\u2019s Autos\u201d livery on the side.<\/p>\n
Khan, 28, was jailed for seven years at the High Court in Edinburgh on Thursday 17 May.<\/p>\n
Khan and the Slovakian are placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
