Taxi driver made licking gestures as woman was sexually assaulted in back of his car

A taxi driver drove for an hour while a woman was sexually assaulted in the back of his car and did nothing.

Jojo Joseph Thirunilam was paid off by Omed Mahmood in the early hours of Sunday, October 31, 2021 to take him and an unconscious 18-year-old from a club in Warrington to his home in Atherton. At around 5am CCTV shows Mahmood pulling the girl towards a taxi rank as she attempted to walk away from the 39-year-old.

The taxi was initially ordered to go to Liverpool but once the victim fell asleep, Mahmood signalled for the taxi to be redirected to his home in Atherton in Greater Manchester. He could be seen handing a number of banknotes to the 49-year-old driver before the taxi turned around and drove to Mahmood's home address.
