Ahmed, whose birth name is Nazir Ahmed, was convicted of attempting to rape a young girl and sexually assaulting a boy under 11, and was originally sentenced to five years and six months in jail at Sheffield Crown Court in February 2022. However, three Appeal Court judges have since reduced the term to two years and six months.
Lord Burnett, the Lord Chief Justice; Lord Justice Holroyde and Lord Justice William Davis concluded that the original trial judge Mr Justice Lavender “fell into error” when passing sentence. The judges stated that the fact that Ahmed was a child when he committed the offences had to be taken into account, and their decision followed a hearing in London in January.
