Original Note:
Ahmed was found guilty of offences committed in the 1970s when he was a child. He was sentenced in total to 5 1/2 years, reduced to 2 years, 6 months on appeal. The 6 month sentence for buggery is what he would have received had he been convicted at age 14 at the time. https://www.theguardian.com/law/2023/mar/17/peer-nazir-ahmeds-jail-term-for-1970s-sexual-assault-cut-by-three-years
