DOJ Moves to Revoke US Citizenship of Jailed Long Island Doctor Convicted of Grooming 11-Year-Old Girl

The denaturalization case against Hassan Sherjil Khan, who has been behind bars since 2016, was filed by US Attorney Jay Clayton in the Southern District of New York, and it’s one of more than 300 proceedings the Trump administration has pushed as part of a crackdown on criminal foreign nationals that obtained citizenship.

Khan, 38, applied for US citizenship in August 2012 – just four months after he traveled from New York to London to have sex with a 15-year-old girl “he had been sexually grooming from the time she was eleven,” according to court documents.

In the years leading up to the UK trip – during which Khan engaged in various sex acts with the teen on “several occasions over multiple days” – the discredited Mineola doctor was fully aware his victim was a minor and “continually coerced and enticed her to send him sexually explicit images of herself and to engage in sexually explicit conduct via live video chats,” prosecutors said.

Khan was arrested in September 2015, two years after he took the oath of allegiance to the US and obtained citizenship.

In 2016, he was sentenced to 17 years in prison after pleading guilty to coercion and enticement of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity.

The denaturalization complaint against Khan alleges that he illegally obtained US citizenship because he “willfully misrepresented and concealed the criminal conduct” he engaged in – but had not yet been arrested for – during his naturalization proceedings.
