A rideshare driver will face court today following an investigation into multiple alleged sexual acts, including one committed in Sydney’s CBD over the weekend.
Officers attached to Sydney City Police Area Command commenced an investigation on Saturday 29 August 2026, following reports a rideshare driver had allegedly performed a sexual act on himself during a trip.
Detectives were told the incident occurred about 12.30pm the same day, during a booked rideshare trip through Sydney’s CBD, with a passenger – a 23-year-old woman – onboard.
Following inquiries, about 3.30pm yesterday (Tuesday 1 September 2026), police arrested a 28-year-old man in Millers Point.
A short time later, officers – with the assistance of the Public Order and Riot Squad – executed a search warrant at a home on Rangihou Crescent, Parramatta.
The 28-year man was taken to Day Street Police Station, where he was charged with three counts of carry out sexual act with another without consent and two counts of sexually touch another person without consent.
Police will allege in court the 28-year-old man was involved in three additional, unrelated incidents of a similar nature between January 2026 and April 2026 at locations in Sydney CBD, Earlwood, and Otford. These alleged incidents occurred outside of his occupation as a rideshare driver.
The man was refused bail to appear before Bail Division Local Court 7 today (Wednesday 2 September 2026).
