Rideshare driver charged with rape, stalking, coercive control over multiple victims in Brisbane
Consensus Summary
A 29-year-old Brisbane rideshare driver has been charged with rape, coercive control, threatening violence, and multiple counts of stalking after police allege he targeted three women over five years. The man, identified as a Ferny Hills resident, allegedly used a white Mercedes-Benz A45 to pick up victims, including a 27-year-old woman in mid-2025 who later reported he sexually assaulted her after unannounced visits to her home. Police also allege he stalked a 21-year-old woman who took a rideshare in November 2024, threatening her workplace within days of exchanging social media details. A third victim, a 20-year-old assaulted in 2020, reported the man accessed her phone and harassed her repeatedly. Search warrants at his home yielded evidence, and he faces court on April 17. Both sources confirm the charges and key incidents but differ slightly on victim ages, specific timelines, and details of the man’s behavior during relationships.
