The sentencing of a former hospital porter who was convicted of raping a nurse has been postponed.

Mohammed Khan, 35, of Trinity Hall Close, was found guilty at St Albans Crown Court earlier in the month of abusing the woman between February and July 2008 at Watford General Hospital.

A sentencing hearing, scheduled for today, has now been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 29. Kahn, who no longer works at the hospital, is facing a lengthy jail sentence.
