Oldham man charged with non-recent CSE offences
A man from Oldham, Mumtaz Khan, has been charged with 13 non-recent child sexual offences against three victims aged as young as 13, committed between 2000 and 2007. He is set to appear in court on January 5, 2026, and has been granted bail. Support services for victims are highlighted.
Mumtaz Khan will stand trial in January 2026 on charges he sexually assaulted three children as young as 13 in Oldham between 2000 and 2007.
The 42-year-old faces 13 counts covering eight indecent assaults, four incidents of sexual activity with a child, and one charge of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. Greater Manchester Police’s Oldham Complex Safeguarding unit, which investigates crimes against young and vulnerable people, brought the charges in February 2025 after receiving authorization from the Crown Prosecution Service.
Khan, who appeared at both Manchester Magistrates’ Court and Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, was released on bail ahead of his January 5 trial date. The charges span a seven-year period when the alleged victims were teenagers.
Detectives continue working with specialist support agencies to provide assistance to those affected by the case. Authorities encourage anyone who has experienced sexual assault to contact police or support services rather than “suffer in silence,” noting that Saint Mary’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre offers 24-hour forensic and counseling services at 0161 276 6515.
