A Tory MP sexually assaulted a man in his sleep in Pakistan after a party, a court has heard.
Imran Ahmad Khan, 48, was elected as the Conservative MP for Wakefield in West Yorkshire in 2019.
He had been working on a project funded by the Foreign Office at the time of the alleged incident in November 2010.
The man, who was then in his early 20s, told a jury that Khan offered him a sleeping pill as they shared a room in a guest house in the city of Peshawar.
He said he later woke up to find Khan performing a sex act on him, adding that he “pushed him off and told him to stop”.
The man’s claim was detailed at Southwark Crown Court, where Khan is on trial over the alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old boy in a bunk bed at a house in Staffordshire in January 2008.
He allegedly forced the youngster to drink gin, dragged him upstairs and asked him to watch pornography before touching his feet and legs.

The MP, who is gay and a Muslim, denies the allegation – and claims he only touched the Catholic teenager’s elbow when he “became extremely upset” after a conversation about his confused sexuality.
Prosecutor Sean Larkin QC told jurors on Monday of the separate allegation against Khan in Peshawar, which is not part of the charge they are trying him on.
“It is a different incident involving an adult in Pakistan,” he said.
The man came forward as a witness after hearing Khan had been charged with sexual assault, the court heard.
Jurors heard that on the night of the alleged sexual assault, Khan and the man had been at a party where everyone was drinking whisky.
Asked if he had been smoking marijuana, the witness said: “I think generally at these types of events, if it had of been there, both Imran and I would have had some.”
Khan’s QC, Gudrun Young, suggested her client “did not like marijuana or the smell of it”, but the man said: “He has definitely smoked in front of me in the past.”
Ms Young suggested the man’s perception was affected by the alcohol, cannabis, and a sleeping pill and, despite being heterosexual, he had consented to sexual activity with Khan.
“I was not consenting,” said the witness. “I was not gay, and I have never experimented with being gay.”
The trial continues.
