A man who preyed on vulnerable women, tricking them into his car before subjecting them to horrifying sexual assaults, has admitted to his crimes. Nazim Asmal, the perpetrator, deceived his victims by posing as a taxi driver and luring them into his vehicle, only to drive them to remote locations where he would commit the assaults.
The first incident occurred on October 3, 2021, when Asmal picked up his victim in Preston city centre. He drove for approximately ten minutes, raping her in the car, before ultimately dropping her off back in the city centre. Distressed and seeking help, she flagged down a concerned member of the public.
