Brisbane rideshare driver charged with rape, stalking, and coercive control over multiple victims (2020–2025).
Consensus Summary
A 29-year-old Brisbane rideshare driver has been charged with rape, coercive control, threatening violence, and multiple counts of stalking after allegedly targeting three women over five years. The man, described as muscular with tattoos, is accused of meeting women through rideshare services—specifically a white Mercedes-Benz A45—and escalating contact via social media and home visits. The most serious allegation involves a 27-year-old woman raped on July 20, 2025, after he developed a relationship with her following a ride in mid-2025. Police allege he also stalked a 21-year-old woman in late 2024, sending threatening messages and threatening to attend her workplace, and assaulted a 20-year-old woman in 2020, including accessing her phone and harassing her daily. Investigations led to a raid of his home in November 2025, where devices were seized. Authorities suspect more victims may come forward, and the man is due to appear in court in April 2026. All sources agree on the core charges and key incidents, though minor variations exist in phrasing and location specifics.
