Appeal Launched After London Hotel Worker Jailed for Rape and Sexual Assaults

A hotel manager who raped one woman and sexually assaulted three others while working at hotels across London has been sentenced to 13 years in prison. The Metropolitan Police" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="193324">Metropolitan Police is now appealing for further potential victim-survivors to come forward.

Ahmed Fahmy, 46, of West Heath Drive, Barnet, was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault following a two-week trial at Harrow Crown Court. He was sentenced on Wednesday (April 23) and has also been placed on the sex offenders’ register and banned from working in the hospitality sector.
 

Hotels Linked to Offences

Fahmy is known to have worked at five different hotels across London and beyond:

• West Heath Drive, Barnet
• Royal Victoria Dock, E16
• Alliance Close, Wembley
• South Way, Wembley
• Bridge, Marlow

The hotels were not part of the same chain, and detectives believe there may be additional venues and victims. Fahmy often used his position to access guest rooms without permission or lure women into his own room under false pretences.

Police Appeal

The Metropolitan Police is urging anyone who may have had contact with Fahmy while he worked at these hotels – or anywhere else – to come forward.

“Whether you were a guest or an employee, if you experienced anything inappropriate, please speak to us,” said DC Gomm.

Due to some incidents involving international guests, police believe that further victim-survivors may be based outside of London or abroad.

How to Report

Victim-survivors or anyone with relevant information are encouraged to contact the Metropolitan Police:

• Online: via the Met Police website
• Email: [email protected]
• Phone: 0208 733 6311 (available 7am–11pm, Monday to Friday)

All contact will be treated with the utmost sensitivity, and support is available throughout the process from both the police and independent organisations.

If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual assault, confidential support is available through organisations like Rape Crisis and Victim Support. You are not alone.
