Uber Driver Caught Cheating Says His Wife Will Pay His Fine

A married Uber driver who was caught on camera having s*x with a prostitute in the back of his cab has stated that his fine will be paid by his wife.

Mohammed Jamal, 37, was arrested and charged with soliciting s*x after a neighbour noticed his vehicle ‘bouncing up and down’ and filmed him in the back seat with a prostitute at 2 a.m. on April 9 this year in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. Jamal has since lost his employment as a private driver.

He told Tameside Magistrates’ Court today that his wife would ‘pay any fine’ after he was slapped £197 in court penalties, including £80 in costs and the £32 victim surcharge.

Representing himself, Jamal said: “I lost my job as a private hire driver and have not worked for the last two months. I signed on with universal credit on May 25. My partner will pay any fine.”

Jamal declined to say anything else when asked if he had anything else to say. He has no prior warnings or convictions.

The resident who filmed him said: “Yo, what you’re doing? Brother, what are you doing? In the month of Ramadan and you’re doing stuff like this? What the f*** are you doing? This is disgusting. What are you doing? I’ve got kids inside here.”

“I’m sorry,” Jamal said as he drove away. I said I’m sorry. “Bro, I’m sorry,” the unidentified woman said, hiding her face in the rear of the car.

Gareth Hughes, prosecuting, said: “The witness who contacted the police was alerted by the sound of a dog barking outside in the street.

“The car’s movements were described as bouncing up and down and he believed the people inside were having s*x.

“He believed there was a prostitute involved as they were known to hang out in the local area.

“He went outside and approached the defendant and the other female while recording on his phone.

“He sent the video of the pair to the police who later interviewed both parties. The defendant denied his involvement in interview but has since changed his plea today.

“They also spoke with the female who confirmed that she slept with the defendant and that she had been picked up by him.”

Uber banned the driver following the release of the video. A spokesman said: “We are horrified by what is depicted in the video and are taking action. We have banned the driver while we investigate and are working directly with the police.”

Labour MP for Rochdale, Tony Lloyd said at the time: “This is a really worrying video and a rapid investigation is necessary.

“The protection of young people is paramount and this video needs to be investigated to give the public reassurance and to protect vulnerable young people.”
