A sports coach will stay longer in prison after being sentenced for another sex offence at the school he worked at 40 years ago.
Ajaz Karim attacked the girl at Christ’s Hospital School when she was just 12 and 13 when he worked there between 1983 and 1993.
He was already partway through a ten-year sentence for other historic sex attacks on pupils at the school when he stood trial for these offences last month.
He was found guilty of one of the two charges of indecent assault, with the jury unable to reach a verdict on the second.
On Friday at Lewes Crown Court he was jailed for 21 months.
Police received the report in November 2022 that Karim, 70, of Broadlove Lane, Greater London, abused a girl, who is now aged in her 40s, when she was 12 and 13.
Karim was asked to attend a voluntary interview and following a complex investigation, he was charged in December 2023.
Detective Constable Rebecca Wilde, of Sussex Police’s Complex Abuse Unit, said: “Ajaz Karim abused the trust of his victim as a school coach.
“The victim has shown incredible bravery to assist with our investigation and to report the crimes committed against her.
“Ultimately, it was thanks to her courage that we were able to secure Karim’s jail sentence.
“If you or anyone you know is a victim of a sexual offence – no matter when it was – please report to the police.
“You will be heard, we will support you and we will do everything we can to get you justice.”
