Wakefield sex abuse Imam Mohammed Ghani jail term extended

    A Wakefield imam convicted of sexually abusing a girl has had his jail term increased.

    Mohammed Ghani had been jailed in August for two years by a judge at Leeds Crown Court for assaulting a girl over a period of seven years.

    The court was told the abuse began during alleged "professional visits" to her home between 1997 and 2006.

    Ghani’s jail term has been increased to five years after the case was referred to the Court of Appeal.
