A Birmingham delivery driver has been jailed - after he sexually assaulted a young woman who he offered a lift.

Twisted Abid Muhammad, of Hall Green, Birmingham, has been caged after the attack on the girl.

The 29-year-old was working as a delivery driver in Kenilworth, in Warwickshire, on April 7, 2018.

He offered to give a young woman, who was in her twenties, a lift home, at around 1am.

The woman got into the vehicle - a white Transit van - and whilst on the journey, Muhammad became sexually suggestive towards her.

He then began touching her under her clothing and sexually assaulted her before dropping her off in Coventry, reports our sister title, CoventryLive .

Muhammad was arrested within hours of the offence and subsequently charged with sexual assault.

At a court appearance on February 13, he pleaded guilty to the offence.

He was today sentenced to a 17 month immediate custodial sentence.

Following the sentence, investigating officer Detective Constable Rachel Priestley from Warwickshire Police, said: “On the night of the offence, the victim put her trust in Muhammad to drop her home safely - something which he completely abused.

“Thanks to the bravery of the victim and the description she provided, we quickly identified him as the suspect and made an arrest.

“Understandably, the victim has been left traumatised by this experience, and I hope today’s sentencing will bring her some form of closure.

“Warwickshire Police will always investigate reports of sexual offences and ensure perpetrators such as Muhammad are brought to justice.”
