Teacher jailed for sexual abuse of student appealing sentence

The economics teacher who in November was sentenced to three years in jail after being found guilty of indulging in sexual activity with a student is seeking to have his sentence appealed.

In late November, Wazir Khan was sentenced to three years imprisonment and fined one million dollars after he was found guilty of engaging in sexual activity with a student.  The sentence was handed down by Magistrate Leron Daly. The charge against Khan stated that he, on March 9, 2019, was involved in sexual activity with a child under the age of 16 and abusing a position of trust.
