The taxi driver contacted the teenager’s mother before committing a sexual assault on her in a secluded area.

A disturbed taxi driver contacted the mother of a teenage girl just before he sexually assaulted her in a secluded area.

Dad of three Motosir Ali picked up the teenager from outside of a nightclub. He was meant to drive her home, but instead took her to a remote location in January this year.

He attempted to kiss the girl, who has not been named, biting her lip, groping her breasts and sexually assaulting her. Shortly before the attack, he spoke to the girl’s mum, who agreed to pay for the journey once she was dropped off.
