Minicab Driver Jailed Over Kidnap And RapeA minicab driver who drove a young woman who hired his cab to his friend’s house, where she was then raped, has been jailed for 9 years.
Salah Mohammed, 31 of Varley Road, E16, picked up the victim, a young woman in her twenties, and drove her to the house of his friend, Mohammed Sallah, 38 of Hylands Road, E17, where she was then raped by Sallah.
The victim was out with friends in central London on Friday March 7th 2014 when she started to feel unwell and headed home. Mohammed was touting for work at the carwash on Great Eastern Street, EC1 and was approached by the victim’s friend, who asked him to take her home. She gave him £10 for the job and took a picture of his license.
The victim’s friend also called the young woman’s parents, telling them she was heading home. When she didn’t turn up in the early hours of the morning of the 8th her parents called the police.
Mohammed had driven the woman to his friend, Mohammed Sallah’s, house in Walthamstow. Sallah then raped the woman who was later driven to Wood Green and let go. She then contacted her family and the police.
Detective Constable Dele Bolude from the Met’s Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse Command, said: “This was a despicable crime. I would like to praise the victim’s courage in coming forward and reporting it to police. I hope that this sentence sends a clear message regarding the seriousness of this type of offending and gives other victims of sexual offences the courage to come forward.”
