NOW IN CUSTODY and being held on $1 million bond, the driver of that ice cream truck is 51-year-old Isam Fathee Mohamed Rahmah, of Durham. A Durham mother said Rahmah used an ice cream truck to target low-income neighborhoods to sexually assault children. She said on Wednesday, her 9-year old son found the courage to tell her what happened to him on October 22nd.

Police said he used a red ice-cream truck to lure not one, but two boys inside to sexually assault them. Rahmah is charged with felony first-degree kidnapping and indecent liberties with a child. Additional charges may be forthcoming.

The mother of the boy told police, “The guy in the ice cream truck told him he could get in the van and help him give out ice cream to the kids in the neighborhood, repeating her son’s account. “He unlocked the door and invited my son on. When he got on, he locked the doors back and told him to go stand in the corner, grabbed him by the shoulders and started sexually molesting him.”
