An Afghan cab drive has been convicted of raping a 34-year-old psychology student after she spent a night out partying, with the man committing the act inside the woman’s house while her 5-year-old child slept in the other room.

The incident, which dates back to April 2022, saw the cab driver bring the intoxicated woman to her apartment. The woman, who Bild described as having “long blonde hair,” was unable to make it up to her apartment, when the cab driver, 28-year-old Mojib M., an Afghan refugee, brought her upstairs.

The 27-year-old babysitter, Julia A., who is from Brazil, was waiting for the woman. Julia A. thought that the man was a friend of the victim who had taken her home and did not know he was the cab driver. He laid the victim on the sofa, covered her up, and then Julia A. said goodbye and left.

However, that is when the horror began for the victim. The public prosecutor in the case, Thomas Franz, said that Mojib M., ripped off the woman’s dress and proceeded to rape her.

The woman remained conscious during the rape and told the court: “I had the urge to scream, but nothing came. I knew that my 5-year-old son was sleeping next door and I was scared. The only fear I had was that my son might be harmed in some way.”

The trial only lasted nine hours, after which the man was sentenced to a mere two years and nine months in prison for the brazen rape. He can still appeal the verdict and is unlikely to serve his full sentence. He had no criminal record before the verdict.

As Remix News has noted, Afghans have some of the highest rates of criminal activity in all of Germany, along with various other Middle Eastern and African groups. Recent data showed that foreigners committed a record high of 41 percent of all crimes in Germany last year, with violent crime hitting record highs.

Judge Hermann Hopp-Schwab found the man’s version of events to be completely false and told the defendant:

“You are a cab driver, you are concerned about the health of the guest. Then, you shouldn’t get involved in sexual contact. The cab driver responded: “I lost my temper.”
