Hmmm. Dark hair, accent, moustache — what could they possibly have in common? Why would they have such an interest in sexually assaulting their attractive female passengers? It’s a complete mystery!
“Sexual assault allegations in Halifax taxis spark warnings,” CBC News, July 25, 2016:
A spate of taxi drivers accused of sexually assaulting women in Halifax has police investigating the perpetrators and offering safety tips to the public.
There have been 14 sexual assault complaints in the Halifax area against taxi drivers over the last five years.
“It’s horrible and it shouldn’t happen, but we have a great number of cab drivers that are out there doing their job day in and day out, getting people to their destinations,” said Insp. Lindsay Herndon of the Halifax Regional Police.
“For many of them, it’s incredibly concerning to have these incidents going on by a handful of individuals that are tarnishing their entire industry.”
Police earlier said there had been 12 sexual assault complaints against taxi drivers in the last five years, but provided updated numbers on Thursday.
What police know about the people involvedIn seven of the 14 cases, police have identified suspects. Police have identified six suspects, meaning they believe one of them is connected to two of the attacks — but they would not give any other details.
Police say the attackers are men, mostly with dark hair and aged between 30 and 50. Most spoke with an accent and many had moustaches.
In 11 of the 14 cases reported in the last five years, the victims were women aged 19 to 25. In most cases, the passenger sat in the front seat. In each case, the passenger was alone in the taxi or the driver waited until other passengers had left.
“In many of the incidents, the offenders insisted on no payment for the drive either before or after committing the sexual assault,” Halifax Regional Police said.
“The offenders often asked personal questions and attempted to flatter the victim.”
In 10 of the 14 cases, the assaults involved the taxi driver touching the woman in a sexual manner or forcibly kissing her, both during the ride and at the destination.
Some of the men asked for a kiss or pulled the victim in closer….

Those pesky mustache men again. This is unfortunate but the real take away here is islamophobia. We really must do more to stop people criticising Islamic rape culture. Muslims should be proud of raping kuffar woman and anyone who says otherwise should get the proper lashings.
Shane says
I’m afraid many on the Left would agree with you. They don’t want the press, police, or government to say anything negative about Islam or Muslims, but it is okay to criticize Christianity, Christians, and Israel.
WorkingClassPost says
Outrageous!
Moustashophobia.
Richard Ashton says
Moustaches are evil and should not be tolerated, especially ones that make the owner of the facial hair look like members of the Village People.

Also, that they are taxi drivers might be a clue. I didn’t know they have an SBA up in Canada too.
I’ll never forget when a couple of years ago a Moslem cabbie picks up a woman at the Mpls-St Paul airport, and takes her into a dark parking lot for a good old fashioned Ko-Ranic rape. Troube is, he parked behind some trees a few feet from the back door of the St Paul Poice Dept. A couple of cops go out onto the back stoop for a smoke, hear the screaming and grunting, walk over to peek inside the cab, toss their cigs to the side and arrest the devout Moslem rapist for his felony. Genius.

Sexual assault may not be the only thing that is going on. While I was in Europe last month I got ripped by Arab cab drivers twice, once in London and once in Paris. In London the driver (a woman) drove past where I knew she should have turned (I had been to the destination before), and when I questioned her on it she insisted that there were a number of one way streets that required her to go in the direction she was headed in, which I knew was not true. When she saw I didn’t buy that, she made a U-turn and went back. then she purposefully dropped me in an inconvenient location (requiring me to transport my handicapped son in a wheelchair along with our luggage across the street amidst heavy traffic). Needless to say, I didn’t tip her. In Paris the driver started out going in a direction 180 degrees opposite of that we should have been heading in. When I thought maybe he had misunderstood me and consequently I questioned him on it, he threw a tantrum and said what appeared to be cuss words in Arabic, followed by claims that his computer was telling him to go this way because the traffic was too heavy in the other direction. I gave him the benefit of the doubt until after about 15 minutes I noticed he was all the way over by the Cathedral of Notre Dame (about twice as far away from our destination — the Gare de Nord Train Station) as before, at which time I complained again and pointed out to him that I noticed his computer wasn’t even on. Again he shouted a bunch of Arabic (for all I know maybe even Allahu Akbar) but then made a U-turn and headed back north in the correct direction. Not only did he run up his meter to at least double what it should have cost, while I was getting my son in his wheelchair this cabbie, presumably getting my change (I had specifically told him I wanted my change), simply drove off. He had stiffed me 30 Euros for a ride that should not have cost more than 12 Euros including a tip (I know because I had taken this route from the same hotel before). I told my family that maybe the cab drivers in London and Paris noticed we were infidels and decided it was time to collect some jizya tax levied against infidels according to the Koran. To have this happen twice in a period of two weeks makes one wonder if this is more widespread. Has this happened to anyone else you know?

In England a taxi driver taking customers to the airport made a point of returning and robbing their house. No need to guess his affiliation.
uscitizen says
The Paris episode happened to me and my mother in NYC. He claimed that we were lying, which was further the truth. I have a feeling that he didn’t like that fact that he sees a mother and daughter who are independent and without a male relative with us.
gravenimage says
None of this surprises, I’m afraid. That these Mohammedans did this with a disabled boy in the cab is all the more despicable. It probably made you more of a target.
Carolyne says
I only ride in those big black taxis in London, and I don’t go to Paris. I hate it. It is filthy and the Parisiennes are rude.
gravenimage says
I take your point, Carolyn–but I’m much more concerned about Muslim rapists than I am about rude Parisiennes.
Guest says
Look no politcal correctness.
berserker says
If I recall correctly, similar stories were being reported in Perth, Australia, a couple of years ago.

Seems most cases are shut down “due to lack of solvability”

Is this West Yorkshire or Canada?
D J says
Beat me to it. I was thinking the series of British trials in Yorkshire was over but the police had found some more culprits.
This is going to be a long war in the west.

Halifax cops warn of sex assaults by cab drivers with “dark hair…spoke with an accent and many had moustaches”
………………….
Might they be…Muslims?
I just had a disturbing experience with a Mohammedan cab driver yesterday. I’d ridden with this creep before, but hadn’t remembered much about him. He asked me how long I had lived at my current address–an innocent enough question, one would think–and I said that my husband and I had lived there since 1998.
He then started to make off-color comments about my “jumping on” my husband. I cut him off by saying in a loud voice, “Sir, those comments are unprofessional. I will have to call your employer if you don’t stop”.
He shut up after that. He never did apologize, though.
I wonder if he has done this with other women.
Champ says
Oh that’s *creepy*, Graven!
gravenimage says
Yes, Champ–it really freaked me out. My biggest concern, of course, was that he wasn’t going to stop at making inappropriate comments.
duh swami says
Around here cab drivers get 4 different background checks and fingerprints are sent to the Justice Dept…and the applicant must not have even one blemish on the driving record…Cab driving presents ‘temptations’ that lure some weak minded drivers take advantage…There are some women who offer sexual favors for a free ride, or will flash the boob as a tip…Drivers with dark hair and mustache , are very weak and once started they don’t know when to stop…
These drivers are glazed over and see all women as potential victims///No one with dark hair and mustache, should not be issued a cab drivers permit…
John A. Marre says
It’s incredibly concerning that this idiot has been told explicitly not to say the word “MUSLIM.”
Carolyne says
A few months ago wasn’t the government of Nova Scotia begging the Syrian “Refugees” to move there? Said there was lots of room and they could wear their burkas? I think it was even here on JW. Must have changed their tune.
I wonder why those women were riding in the front seat with the driver in the first place.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Since Nova Scotia has historically always had a seasonal economy (fishing-related) they are on the dole on the government’s teat for half the year, and so are union-savvy New-Democrat SOCIALISTS big-time.
They thus also buy into all the most liberal social engineering racist muslim-pandering victimology crap.
As habitual parasites, IMHO they deserve what they get (and most of my family is from there, too LOL)!

…………………
So you think Nova Scotians *deserve* to get raped by Muslims? What about every other part of the West with foolish policies?
Mick R says
Riding in the front seat when travelling alone is standard practice in many places.
UNCLE VLADDI says
IN HEAVILY-REGULTED CANADA, ALL TAXI DRIVERS ARE MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS.
gravenimage says
In the not-as-heavily-regulated United States, many of them are Muslim, as well.
Muslim cab drivers appear to be disturbingly common over much of the West.
David King says
On a Halifax talk radio show it was said all these taxi drivers that did these assaults were from the Middle Eastern countries.
