AN ELDERLY man from Oldham will appear in court next year on trial for historic sexual offences against children in the town.
Mumtaz Khan, 76, is alleged to have committed 13 offences against three victims – then aged as young as 13 – between 2000 and 2007.
He was charged in February this year by detectives and has since appeared at Manchester Magistrates’ Court and Minshull Street Crown Court.
Khan was given court bail ahead of his trial on January 5, 2026.
Greater Manchester Police said in a statement: “Our Oldham Complex Safeguarding team was authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service to serve eight counts of indecent assault, four counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of cause/incite a child to engage in sexual activity.
“We continue to work with specialist agencies to offer all those affected by this case ongoing support.”
