Zero detail on what happened, or how these assaults came about.

Found one earlier article (below) which is very probably about the same driver, but not much detail there either.


Kidderminster taxi driver jailed for sexual assaults

https://www.kidderminstershuttle.co.uk/ ... -assaults/

A KIDDERMINSTER man has been jailed for sexually assaulting women while he was their taxi driver.

Syed Maaz Ahmad, of Gheluvelt Avenue, sexually assaulted three women between 2014 and 2018.

The 48-year-old was sentenced to a total of eight months imprisonment at Worcester Crown Court on Wednesday December 8 after he pleaded guilty to the offences.

Ahmad was also handed a sexual harm prevention order for ten years and was placed on the sexual offenders register, also for ten years.

Following the sentencing, police constable Marie Holmes from West Mercia Police, said: “Ahmad was trusted to transport these women in his taxi but he abused his position in the worst possible way.

“I’d like to thank the victims for their courage in coming forward and their dedication and patience during this entire investigation.

“I hope this case reassures anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault that West Mercia Police is committed to providing help and support to victims and bringing offenders to justice."

Explaining what the force will be doing to keep people safe over the festive season, she added: “Over the Christmas, officers will continue working closely with licensed premises and services, offering help and advice on how they can help us in our efforts to ensure we are doing everything we can to keep party goers safe; and we will be working with Street Pastors, who are teams of volunteers who offer help and support to anyone who may need it while they’re enjoying a night out.

“While we want people enjoying a night out to feel reassured of the steps we’re taking, we also want to send a strong message to those who may seek to exploit others that we will be watching them.”

Anyone who is a victim of any sexual assault and needs support can contact West Mercia's Victim Advice Line on 0800 952 3000.

This was reported in 2018, so the timeframe fits with the dates reported above.

A woman was reportedly sexually assaulted by a taxi driver in Kidderminster.

The woman in her 20s reported she was sexually assaulted after getting into the front seat of the taxi at around 2.50am on Saturday, February 10.

It is believed the assault took place near Villiers Street, off Chester Road North.

A man has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Detective Constable Marie Holmes said: "This was terrifying incident for the victim and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have information that could help with our enquiries.

"We take all reports of sexual offences extremely seriously and will fully investigate.

"We encourage all victims to call police."

Anyone with information is asked to call West Mercia Police on 101, quoting incident reference number 497S of February 11.

Alternatively, information can be passed on anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or by visiting crimestoppers-uk.org.

These orders are as severe an order you can imagine.

For good reason I may add.
