On 17 August, the man allegedly turned up at the woman\u2019s house again and threatened her, but left due to other people being there.<\/p>\n
Earlier, on 1 November 2024, it is alleged a 21-year-old woman used the same ride-share car to return home.<\/p>\n
Police allege the same driver exchanged social media account details with the woman before sending her multiple messages and threatening to attend her workplace.<\/p>\n
The woman never met the man after the original ride share and blocked him on social media.<\/p>\n
Investigations have led police to further allege about November 2020, a 20-year-old woman started a relationship with the same man.<\/p>\n
Within two months, he is alleged to have assaulted the woman and gone through her phone, turning up at her house if she did not answer his calls.<\/p>\n
The man has been charged with one count each of rape, coercive control, threatening violence, misusing a telecommunications service, trespass and three counts of stalking.<\/p>\n
Sen Sgt Robert Lowry said there would probably be more victims.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the information that we\u2019ve got, there probably are other women out there that have experienced this behaviour by this driver,\u201d he told reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are getting some calls coming into the office about similar instances, which we\u2019re investigating.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe purpose of today is to put a wider call-out to the community to see if there are other women out there who have experienced this behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lowry said the man was 170cm tall, with a tanned complexion, a solid, muscular build, and tattoos on both arms and one leg.<\/p>\n
He is on bail under strict conditions and will next appear in the Brisbane magistrates court on 17 April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A ride-share driver has been accused of raping a one-time passenger and stalking several others, as police urge…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":593472,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,44],"class_list":["post-593471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=593471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/593471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/593472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=593471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=593471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=593471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
