Married dad-of-two Khaldon Mohammed failed in a bid to have his rape conviction overturned
A Liverpool taxi driver, who forced a male passenger to perform a sex act as he drove, has failed in a bid to clear his name.
Married dad-of-two Khaldon Mohammed previously claimed that his customer initiated sexual activity but was found guilty of rape in January 2017 and jailed for six-and-a-half years.
The 31-year-old, of Gwendoline Street in Toxteth, took his case to the Court of Appeal last week but failed to have his conviction overturned.
Although Mohammed pleaded not guilty after the incident in 2015, he was convicted after a jury heard of the victim’s distress in the moments afterwards, when he called a friend in hysterics.
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.
Arthur Gibson, prosecuting, 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***?’”
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.
His lawyers claimed at an appeal hearing that fresh evidence from another Liverpool taxi driver cast doubt on the safety of the jury’s guilty verdict
The other driver told of having picked up a male passenger - with the same name as Mohammed’s victim - and being offered oral sex as payment.
When shown pictures of the complainant in Mohammed’s case, he said he recognised him as the passenger who offered him the sexual favour.
But returning to court today to deliver their judgment, three top judges refused Mohammed’s bid to appeal his conviction.
Ruling on the case, Lord Justice Bean, sitting with Mr Justice Sweeney and Judge Anthony Leonard QC, said the new witness had only had a “fleeting glance” of his passenger.
And there had been a gap of at least 19 months between him picking up the man and being shown the photo of Mohammed’s victim.
The judge said: “Each of the three members of this court takes the view that the fresh evidence raises no reasonable doubt as to the guilt of Khaldon Mohammed.”
The prosecution case was “strong”, based on lies by Mohammed in his police interview and the improbability of him allowing himself to receive oral sex “out of curiosity”.
He added: “The distressed state of the complainant very shortly afterwards made for a formidable case, even against a defendant of good character.”
The appeal was dismissed and the conviction upheld
Germany's highest court said on Thursday that taxi-hailing app Mytaxi was allowed to offer discounts because it was not subject to the same pricing rules as taxi companies, overturning a lower court ruling.
The app "is itself not a taxi company, to which fixed prices would apply. It only acts as an agent for taxi orders that are independently carried out by taxi companies," the Federal Court of Justice said in a statement.
The ruling comes as a victory for Mytaxi, a day after parent Daimler and peer BMW announced plans to merge their units offering new services such as taxi-hailing, car sharing and electric vehicle charging.
The case had been brought by German taxi operator group Taxi Deutschland, which offers an app that competes with Mytaxi and which had said Mytaxi's discounts undercut official taxi fares.
Mytaxi had offered cab rides for half the regular price in several German cities if customers paid electronically instead of in cash. It paid the difference to the full fare itself, minus a commission fee.
Also, it had distributed vouchers that could be used toward taxi fares.
A lower court in Frankfurt had ruled in 2016 that the discounts were illegal, saying they were an "unfair commercial practice".
But the supreme court said on Thursday it saw no reason to limit competition among agents relaying orders to taxi companies.
Taxi companies still received the full fare under the discount scheme, and Mytaxi's services did not interfere with the normal functioning of the taxi market, it said.
Also, the price cuts had only been available in some cities and only for a limited period of time, which meant they did not crowd out competitors.

Slovak court orders suspension of Uber services nationally
A Slovak court has ordered Uber to suspend its operations in the country, a court spokesman said on Tuesday, responding to an action by taxi drivers who say the ride-hailing service represents unfair competition.
Though the decision came into effect on March 6 it was announced only on Tuesday and Uber services were still available in the Slovak capital Bratislava.
"The defendant is obliged to refrain from allowing people who do not meet legal requirements (...) to carry out taxi services in Slovakia," court spokesman Pavol Adamciak said.
The Bratislava-based Association of certified taxi drivers filed the lawsuit in January, arguing Uber drivers do not meet the requirements for professional taxi drivers and the cars do not meet the safety and regulatory requirements for professional transport services.
Uber in Slovakia declined to comment until it received the court decision.
Uber has faced regulatory and legal setbacks around the world amid opposition from traditional taxi services.
The European Union's top court said in a landmark ruling in December that Uber should be classified as a transport service and regulated like other taxi operators.
Last year, London deemed Uber unfit to run a taxi service and stripped it of its license to operate. Uber is appealing against the decision.
In the last two weeks, it has emerged that the TfL licensed Uber London Ltd, are not dispatching jobs to drivers. It’s alleged that all journeys have been dispatched by unlicensed Dutch company Uber BV.
It’s also been shown on Tim Fenton’s Zelo Street Blog that top officials at TfL have known about this illegal activity since 2013 yet have failed to act, sweeping scandal after scandal under the carpet.
London Taxi drivers are stunned at the lack of action from their representative orgs. This is leading some drivers to believe the relationship between their representation and our regulators has become too close.
A taxi driver who drove two girls to a police station after they refused to pay him is devastated after being accused of kidnapping them on Facebook.
The mother of one of the girls in Hull posted a picture of Yakup Kahramanog, 42, online and he quickly began getting threats and abuse.
Taxis drivers are advised to drive passengers who refuse to pay their fairs directly to a police station but the backlash against Mr Kahramanog has left him considering giving up his job.
He told the Hull Daily Mail: ‘This is a really horrible situation to be in, it’s libellous. There are thousands of people on Facebook who have seen the post and I feel like I am being judged by them all because it has got everywhere.
‘I don’t want to go to work at night now, I am even thinking of leaving the taxi job and selling my car. I just don’t know what could happen to me.
‘How can I work confidently when I know someone who has seen me on Facebook could get in my car and attack me?’
Mr Kahramanog picked the girls up in west Hull at around 3.30am on Tuesday and drove them towards their homes, but they aroused suspicion by taking their shoes off and whispering to each other.

He asked them for £12, but they could only offer him £1. Then he asked them to get their parents to pay or to go to a cash machine, after they refused he drove to the police station.
Peter Nilsson, chairman of the Hull Hackney Carriage Association, backed Mr Kahramanog after viewing the CCTV footage.
He said: ‘He has acted in exactly the way he should. He never went anywhere near the girls and they were safe in the back of the vehicle.’
‘What he has gone through is awful. The woman has judge, jury and executed him on social media.’
Humberside Police confirmed they had given advice to both the taxi driver and the girls’ parents as the issue was a civil not a criminal matter.
London's congestion charge, introduced in 2003, has actually increased diesel pollution in the capital according to university researchers.
Scientists from Lancaster University, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology presented a study on the matter at the Royal Economic Society's annual conference.
The study found that since the introduction of the charge, nitrogen dioxide levels in the city have increased by 20 per cent.
Nitrogen dioxide is a common emission from diesel vehicle exhausts, and is deemed to be so harmful that the World Health Organisation has classified that as carcinogenic, due to evidence they cause lung cancer. The study suggests that the discouragement of passenger cars could have pushed commuters into heavily polluting diesel buses and taxis.
These vehicles are exempt from paying the congestion charge, which currently costs £11.50 per day.
A parliamentary enquiry last year called air pollution in the capital a 'public health emergency', and as a result the city of London added an extra charge for owners of older, more polluting vehicles. The T-Charge covers any diesel vehicle which was built before Euro 4 emissions standards and costs an extra £10 on top of the existing £11.50 congestion charge.
John Heywood, lead author of the study, said: "Exempting buses and taxis meant that these diesel vehicles drove many more miles as a result of the congestion charge as commuters transferred out of personal cars into these forms of public transport. This reflected an explicit policy to expand public transport provision in the zone.
"As a consequence, the fuel mix of vehicles in the zone moved toward diesel . . . The reduction in other pollutants has to be weighed against negative health effects associated with a marked increase in NO2 emissions."
