A North Parramatta man allegedly raped three women 32 times across a two-year period that lasted until April this year.

Ahmed Nassef has been charged with the rape of three women, two aged 21 and one aged 29, on multiple occasions starting in April 2023, after the 31-year-old was arrested by police following a search warrant on a North Parramatta unit on Thursday morning.

Footage from the arrest shows several armed police officers who enter an apartment building and approach an internal staircase before arresting Nassef, who covered his face as he was led from the property in a dark hoodie, light pants and navy-blue footwear.

Strike Force Diapur was established in April this year, following reports of repeated alleged sexual assaults committed by Nassef. A mobile phone and documents were seized in the police search, which will now undergo forensic examination.

Nassef was charged with 32 counts of sexual intercourse without consent, threatening to distribute intimate images without consent and failing to comply with an order to allow police access to digital evidence.

He will appear before Parramatta Local Court on Friday, where police are expected to pursue an apprehended violence order to protect Nassef’s alleged victims.
