In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Adam Khan, 30, was sentenced to nine years and six months in prison for arranging the rape of a child and distributing indecent images. On appearing at Birmingham Crown Court on Wednesday, 18 March 2026, the defendant—of Great Barr, Birmingham—pleaded guilty to charges involving the facilitation of the rape of a child under 13 and the distribution of prohibited material. It was reported that Khan was intercepted by the Force Priorities Team during an active attempt to meet an individual he believed would provide access to a child for sexual abuse.
The investigation established that Khan was actively seeking victims through digital platforms. West Midlands Police reported that Khan had been interacting with others online to find a child he could subject to sexual attacks. The prosecution reported that officers intervened in July 2025 in Great Barr, arresting Khan at a pre-arranged meeting point. The investigation established that upon his arrest, digital devices were seized which contained nearly 1,000 indecent images and videos of children.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that there was clear evidence of Khan distributing images of children between June and July 2025. Birmingham Crown Court heard that the forensic examination of Khan’s devices uncovered a significant volume of “vile” material alongside communications detailing his intent to commit physical abuse. The investigation established that the proactive work of the specialized police unit prevented a physical assault from taking place.
The sentencing judge noted the calculated nature of Khan’s attempts to facilitate the rape of a minor when handing down the nine-year and six-month term. For his actions in Birmingham, Khan was also made subject to strict post-release conditions to manage the risk he poses to the public. The judge noted that the combination of possessing a large library of indecent material and actively seeking a physical victim demonstrated a high level of predatory danger.
