[Cars For Stars Profile]

An unlicensed cab driver has been sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court following sexual assaults on two women in Kingston and Chelsea in 2010.

Amir Bhatti, 33, of Hounslow pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault and one count of theft in October 2011. He was sentenced to four years’ imprisonmentfor public protection.

Detective Constable Serena D’Adamo of Sapphire said: “Bhatti used his job as an unlicensed cab driver to target vulnerable woman and get them into his car so he could carry out the assaults. This case should serve as a reminder to women to take sensible precautions when planning a night out and ensure they have a safe way of getting home.

“If anyone thinks they have been a victim of sexual assault I would urge them to report it to police; they can be assured that they will be treated sensitively by specially trained Sapphire officers.”
