Police<\/a> are urging potential victims of a Queensland rideshare driver to come forward after three women contacted police accusing him of stalking, coercive control and sexual assault<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A 29-year-old man has been charged with rape, coercive control, threatening violence and three counts of stalking following alleged incidents in Brisbane dating back to 2020.<\/p>\n

In the most recent alleged incident in the middle of last year, \ufeffthe man allegedly picked up a 27-year-old woman in a white Mercedes A45 at night and took her home.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/In the most recent alleged incident, \ufeffthe man connected with a 27-year-old woman who used a white Mercedes A45 to return home at night in the middle of last year, police allege. (SMH)<\/p>\n

He allegedly connected with her on social media and the pair developed a relationship in June.<\/p>\n

During the relationship, the man repeatedly accessed the woman’s phone and threatened to assault her, police will allege.<\/p>\n

\ufeffShe unsuccessfully tried to break up with him on multiple occasions, police said.<\/p>\n

Police will allege the man turned up to her house unannounced on July 20 and sexually assaulted her\ufeff.<\/p>\n

She ended the relationship and told him not to contact her again.<\/p>\n

Almost one month later, on August 17, the man allegedly again turned up to the woman’s house and threatened her, but left because others were present.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/The man will appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court on April 17. (Jocelyn Garcia)<\/p>\n

In November 2024,, the same driver allegedly picked up a 21-year-old woman in the white Mercedes A45 rideshare and took her froom from Fortitude Valley and allegedly exchanged social media details with her.<\/p>\n

Over the next week the man sent the woman multiple messages and threatened to turn up to her workplace, police will allege.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old never met the man after the original ride share and blocked him on social media and her phone before reporting the matter to police.<\/p>\n

Police will further allege the man assaulted a 20-year-old woman and went through her phone within two \ufeffmonths of beginning a relationship with her around November 2020.<\/p>\n

He allegedly phoned the woman multiple times per day and turned up at her house if she did not answer the phone calls.<\/p>\n

The young woman ended the relationship in early 2021 and reported the matter to police in May of that year.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The man was charged after police seized mobile phones and a laptop during a raid on a Ferny Hills home on November 17 last year.<\/p>\n

He will next appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on April 17.<\/p>\n

Detectives are appealing for anyone who feels they have been a victim of a similar offence to contact police.<\/p>\n
