A teenage girl was left “hysterical” after she told her teacher she was allegedly raped by the son of a Labour mayor, who is now accused of trying to cover it up.
Diwan Khan is alleged to have raped the teenager while she was “blacked out” after he gave her ecstasy and vodka, and to have videoed the assault.
Prosecutors told Winchester Crown Court the teenager woke up in the backseat of Khan’s car with no clothes on and she could not remember what had happened.
However, Khan allegedly showed her a video that he filmed of him having sex with her, choking and slapping her in the face.
To keep her silence, Khan allegedly threatened over messages saying that he would show her mother the video if she said anything and that she “belonged” to him.
When police came to arrest Khan on September 12, 2024, his mother, Ejaz, who had just finished a year as Mayor of Bracknell, allegedly stopped officers from entering her home.

The mother and her son are appearing on trial together at Winchester Crown Court, Hampshire.
Ejaz denies perverting the course of justice and Khan denies rape.
The victim’s mother told the court her daughter had gone missing several times in the summer when she had not known what she was doing, but she had thought that she was with friends.
Prosecutor Ed Wylde asked her mum how her daughter was when she arrived at the school after she had told her teacher about what had happened.

GETTYThe mum responded, saying: “She was hysterical. She was crying.”
Mr Wylde had asked the girl if it was a “difficult time in her life” when she was sneaking out, and she admitted that it had been.
The victim’s mother told the court she had asked her daughter to “hand in” her phone to her at night, put extra locks around the house, and put a Ring doorbell on the front door to stop her sneaking out.
Mr Wylde said that the girl had not had her phone with her during the evening of the alleged rape, and she had snuck out through the kitchen window because the lock was broken.
Defending Khan, Nadia Chbat said that the girl had lied to her mum about being “kidnapped” when she snuck out and went “missing.”
Ms Chbat said: “You were running away from home quite a bit at the time, weren’t you?”
The trial continues at Winchester Crown Court.
