Nazim Asmal, 35, would lure women on a night out into his car by pretending he was a taxi driver before taking them to secluded places and raping them.
A man who pretended to be a taxi driver in order to rape women returning from a night out has been jailed. Nazim Asmal, 35, has been sentenced to 17 years in prison with a further five years on extended licence after pleading guilty to four counts of rape at Preston Crown Court, Lancashire, in November. Asmal, who currently has no fixed abode but formerly of Balaclava Street in Blackburn, carried out his first attack in October 2021, when his victim got into his car in Preston city centre.
On the same evening of that call, Asmal raped his third victim after she got into his car in Darwen town centre. Driving her towards Bolton, in the opposite direction of her home, Asmal said: 'You don't want to pay for this taxi, do you?' He raped his victim and then dropped her off at her home address. Asmal was tracked down after his black Toyota Yaris was picked up on CCTV cameras, Lancashire Police said.
