Taxi driver waved sex toy at undercover police woman A taxi driver who produced a sex toy and waved it towards an undercover police officer posing as a passenger has been given a suspended prison sentence. Jamil Iqbal (41), of Humphrey Street, Brierfield, was jailed for 16 months, suspended for two years, after admitting attempted sexual assault at Burnley Crown Court. The father-of-six, who has since surrendered his taxi licence and is now working as a part-time takeaway delivery driver, was also made the subject of a two-year supervision order and a 10-year sexual offences prevention order. Mr Mark Stuart (prosecuting) said police had deployed undercover officers in relation to information received and one of these, named only as Nicky, called Victor’s Taxis in Brierfield from the Oaks Hotel in the early hours of December 7th last year. Iqbal arrived in a car bearing the logo of another firm. but told Nicky he was from Victor’s. He began asking her deeply personal questions and the pair exchanged mobile telephone numbers. Nine days later, Nicky called Iqbal again from a restaurant in Cliviger and asked for a “two drop” taxi for herself and a colleague, Sarah. Iqbal turned up, this time in an unmarked taxi, and picked the officers up, dropping Nicky off in Brierfield and then setting off towards Barrowford with Sarah. He again asked the officer the same personal questions, unsuccessfully tried to get her into the front seat with him and then produced a sex toy which he waved towards her. After he dropped her off, officers in support stopped Iqbal and arrested him. In interview, he suggested that it was as much the women who had instigated talk about sex, but declined to comment further when told they were undercover officers. Mr Aftab Anwar (defending) said Iqbal had pleaded guilty to the offence at the first opportunity and asked the court to give him credit for that. “The pre-sentence report clearly demonstrates he is deeply remorseful and knows he has done wrong. “He had been a taxi driver for 12 years and has worked in factories where there were women workers and nothing like this has happened before,” he said. “He has already been punished by losing his job and I would ask that any prison sentence is suspended.” Judge Beverley Lunt, in passing sentence, said: “Women in particular trust taxi drivers and are entitled to feel safe when they get in a taxi. “These undercover officers may have saved some innocent victim from being subject to a serious sexual assault or an extremely unpleasant incident. “There is no explanation offered as to why you acted in the way you did and while the offence is serious, I can suspend an immediate custodial sentence,” Iqbal was also banned from holding any kind of public service vehicle licence in the future. http://www.pendletoday.co.uk/news/local ... -1-6810417 |

Quote: is now working as a part-time takeaway delivery driver Is there any requirement for these drivers to have a DBS check considering they could very well be delivering food to vulnerable and alone people...... just wondering. |

No there isn't and around here it is used as a cover to carry passengers. ie. the takeaway is being delivered for free and the passenger is going with it. |

This chap seems to be unlucky - Brierfield taxi driver wrongly accused of sex assault tells of relief his ordeal is over First published Monday 7 January 2013 in Pendle A TAXI driver accused of groping a teenage girl in his cab has spoken of his relief after he was cleared by a jury. Dad-of-six Jamil Iqbal, 40, of Brierfield, had always denied the charge of sexual assault on a 16-year-old girl in April 2010. He described the past two-and-a-half years as a 'nightmare' after he lost his job as a taxi driver and had to borrow money to pay for bills and food. Mr Iqbal, who has five daughters aged 17, 15, 11, eight and three and a baby son who was born on Christmas Eve, said he now wanted to get his life and licence back. He said: "It’s a relief. It has brought us closer together as a family. It has been a struggle. How many other people out there have been wrongly accused? It was hard to explain to my daughters what was going on, that it was all wrong. “Everything was upside down. I’m really disappointed that my licence was suspended before I had been in court. “I was always going to see this through, to prove that I hadn’t done it. All of this because someone wouldn’t pay a fare. Why?” And his wife of 17 years, Najama, 39, a welfare assistant at Walter Street County Primary School, blasted the judicial system for taking so long to clear her husband of the charge. She said: “We just want a normal life back. It was such a relief to see him come home from court. “I knew if he did something wrong he’d tell me. I knew he was telling the truth. He’s spent two years scared, not sleeping, stressed out. “He was made to feel guilty without any proof. We are well-known in Brierfield and everybody knew about this. “What we went through was horrible. Why did it takes nearly so long, nearly three years?” Mr Iqbal was alleged by the girl to have put his hand down her top and inside her bra after he picked her up from a pub in Burnley Wood on her 16th birthday on April 7 2010. The complainant told the court that Mr Iqbal, of Humphrey Street, had asked her for a hug, then touched her and she had ‘shoved him off’. According to the girl, who had been celebrating her birthday by drinking cider with her mother, the defendant had then asked her: “Can I touch you one more time, please?” and told her: “I have a nice body.” Giving evidence, Mr Iqbal responded to those claims by telling the jury that the girl had been in the back of the vehicle, had leant forward into the front, and he had pushed her back gently on the shoulder. Mr Iqbal, who was working for Crown Taxis at the time and has no criminal convictions, was found not guilty by the jury last Thursday, and was discharged from the dock by Judge Simon Newell. Mr Iqbal’s barrister, Simeon Evans, said Mr Iqbal was a man of good character and that there had never been a complaint made against him during his eight years as a taxi driver. He added that the job was Mr Iqbal's only income and he would have been taking ‘an enormous risk’ if the girl’s claims were true. Mr Evans said: “This was a drunken, giggly girl, behaving in a silly way. He pushed her away.” http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/ne ... l_is_over/ viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21047&hilit=Jamil+Iqbal |

Quote: “He had been a taxi driver for 12 years and has worked in factories where there were women workers and nothing like this has happened before,” presumably because the woman in factories weren't drunk and vulnerable
