Perisai.net - SEORANG imam Muslim diduga memperkosa seorang anak lagi-lagi dalam beberapa kesempatan setiap kali anak itu menghadiri pelajaran agama di sebuah masjid. Hanif Mohammed Khan, 42, diduga melakukan pelecehan seksual terhadap seorang anak laki-laki berumur 12 tahun di dalam masjid di Capper Street, Stoke di Trent, Inggris, dimana ia bertugas sebagai Imam.
Khan juga diberatkan dengan percobaan perkosaan terhadap sepupu anak itu, yang berusia 15 tahun, ketika ia menginap di rumah Khan pada suatu malam.
Di depan Pengadilan Nottingham Crown, Khan berupaya untuk mengajukan pembelaan atas delapan dakwaan yang dituduhkan kepadanya. Dia didakwa dengan tiga tuduhan pemerkosaan, empat tuduhan percobaan perkosaan dan satu tuduhan pelecehan seksual, semuanya terjadi antara 1 Juli 2009 dan 16 Oktober 2009.
Jaksa penuntut umum mengatakan bahwa Khan memilih dari anak-anak peserta pelajaran agama untuk masuk ke suatu ruangan pribadi yang tidak tertangkap CCTV. Di dalam ruangan itu, Khan akan bertanya kepada anak itu, "Apakah kamu mau lebih?" Jika sang anak menjawab "Tidak," maka Khan akan mengatakan, "Demi Allah, katakan saja 'Ya!'"
Korban yang kini berusia 13 tahun mengaku bahwa tindakan asusila sang imam berlangsung selama sekitar dua bulan, dan baru terbongkar ketika korban melapor kepada ayahnya. Kepada sang ayah, korban mengatakan, "Ayah, di masjid, Syekh Sahib membuka celana saya."
Khan merupakan imam yang sangat dihormati di tempatnya. Ia memiliki gelar Syekh Mohammed Hanif Haqqani Kareemi serta berbagai gelar kehormatan lainnya. [] © IND

Imam denies Stoke-on-Trent mosque rape charges
A Muslim worship leader raped a young boy on numerous occasions as he attended a mosque for religious lessons, a court has heard.
Mohammed Hanif Khan, 42, of Sheffield, is alleged to have assaulted the boy at a mosque in Capper Street, Stoke-on-Trent, where he worked as the Imam.
He is also charged with the attempted rape of another boy.
Mr Khan denies three counts of rape, four of attempted rape and one of sexual activity with a child.
All the charges are alleged to have taken place on various dates between 1 July, 2009 and 16 October, 2009.
Prosecuting, Tariq Bin Shakoor told the jury at Nottingham Crown Court that Mr Khan's job was to lead prayers and to give Islamic education lessons to boys who attended evening classes.
Prayer mat
He said that in police interviews, the first boy said he was singled out by Mr Khan, of Owler Road, following evening prayer on about six occasions, the first of which was around August 2009.
"The defendant would request him to lay out his red prayer mat in a different part of the mosque," he said.
"That is when the remaining prayer would be completed individually and not in congregation."

Such was that following that people would be prepared to die for him”
Tariq Shakor Khan prosecuting barrister
He told the jury the alleged victim seemed to suggest the defendant would take him through a door marked "private", into a sitting room area, and then into a room with cushions on the floor which was used by committee members.
On occasions, they would then go through another door into a classroom, going to a corner at the back.
The prosecutor said the defendant chose different places within the mosque, not covered by CCTV cameras. Another area was near the building's bins.
"He (the boy) said once it happened by the bins downstairs. That, he recalled was the first time," he said.
In October 2009, when the youngster told his father about the incidents, concerns were raised about another boy as he had become reluctant to attend the mosque after spending the night at Mr Khan's home.
In police interviews, the first boy said his family trusted the defendant and that he had a "strong following".
"Such was that following that people would be prepared to die for him," the prosecutor said. He had an "enormous amount of respect and authority, particularly within the Muslim community".
The trial has been adjourned until Thursday.

Radio Nederland Wereldomroep dan NRC Handelsblad masuk nominasi penghargaan jurnalistik De Loep, karena berhasil mengungkap kasus pelecehan seksual di gereja Katolik-Roma.
Penghargaan ini setiap tahunnya diberikan oleh Persatuan Jurnalistik Penelitian Belanda dan Flandria.
Robert Chesal dari Radio Nederland Wereldomroep bekerja sama erat dengan Joep Dohmen dari NRC Handelsblad. Mereka berhasil membongkar banyak fakta mengenai pelecehan seksual yang terjadi di dalam gereja Katolik-Roma di Belanda.
Juri menyatakan, "Dengan cara yang sangat baik Dohmen dan Chesal menegaskan bahwa hal yang sudah terungkap di negara lain, terjadi juga di Belanda: pelecehan seksual oleh para pastor gereja Katolik-Roma. Pelecehan ini sudah dari dulu terjadi dan berlangsung secara secara struktural."
