LIVERPOOL...DELTA CARS

Married dad taxi driver forced male passenger to perform sex act on him in a moving cab

Dad-of-two Khaldon Mohammed, from Liverpool, asked the victim "do you like d**k?" before "suddenly" unzipping his jeans and focring man into lewd act

The driver, 30, claimed at Liverpool Crown Court that the passenger had instigated sex and he had agreed "out of curiosity".

But he was jailed for six-and-a-half years today after a jury convicted him, the Liverpool Echo reports

During a three-day trial, prosecutor Arthur Gibson told the court the victim had called a friend immediately after the journey and told her: “I need you.”

Mr Gibson said: “His voice was shaking, he went silent and then became hysterical, screaming down the phone ‘I’ve been raped’.”

His friend called police and when officers arrived, a policewoman described the man “crying hysterically” and retching when recalling what happened.

Mr Gibson asked the jury why, if Mohammed was telling the truth, the man “feigned distress”.

The court heard the passenger got into Mohammed’s taxi in 2015 after a night out, and was drunk but “not so drunk that he did not know what he was doing.”

The man told police that Mohammed had initiated conversation, but the passenger could not hear from the back so was invited to climb into the front passenger seat.

Mr Gibson said: “The usual banter took a strange and what is clearly now a sinister turn, because the defendant started to ask him about his sexual orientation and came out with the question ‘do you like d**k?’”

He said the journey continued before Mohammed “suddenly” unzipped his jeans, “pulled” the man’s head down and “forced him” to perform a sex act.

Mr Gibson said the driver pushed the victim away when they stopped at red traffic lights, because people were around, before pulling his head down again.

He said after Mohammed finished, the journey ended and the man got out and ran into his home.
When arrested, Mohammed told police the victim repeatedly put his hand down his trousers and groped him against his will, but insisted no sex acts took place.

The court heard Mohammed, who worked for private hire firm Delta, later changed his story and claimed a consensual sex act had taken place. He said he had been “embarrassed” to admit it and feared “losing my wife and kids.”
