An Uber driver who put his penis into a passenger’s mouth ‘freaked out’ when the victim told him she had HIV, a court heard.

Suleiman Abdirizak soaked his penis with water from a squash bottle and had to be calmed down by his victim, who reassured him he would be fine, it is claimed.

What are the work from home rules - should I work from home?

The 42-year-old, who has been charged with rape, had pulled into a dead end in east London and climbed into the back seat, Snaresbrook Crown Court was told.

Prosecutor Sarah Morris said the victim had been out for a meal, but felt unwell after drinking a bottle of wine and ordered an Uber to take her home.




Abdirizak picked her up on November 10 last year but stopped in Buckle Street, Stepney, and stroked the woman’s thigh as she slept, jurors heard.

Miss Morris said: ‘He got into the back and put his penis into her mouth. He said, ‘I’ll only drive you if you suck my dick’.

‘She told him a lie, she told him she had HIV to keep him away from her.

‘His telephone shows that for nine minutes they were in fact in Buckle Street. That’s where the rape took place.’

In a police interview, the woman said: ‘I don’t know how I thought of this idea to lie to him, I said I have an illness and you don’t want to sleep with me.

‘He thought it was an STD or something, I told him I have HIV and have had it for five years.

‘He got out a squash bottle from his car and started washing his mouth and penis because he though he was contaminated.

‘I know he was freaked out. I said ‘I’ll walk you through it, I have had it for five years, don’t worry about it’.’

Abdirizak of Rifle Street, Poplar, denies one count of rape.

He claimed the woman told him to drive somewhere private and stop the car so she could be sick.

The trial continues.
