Full Description

A self-employed taxi driver from St Leonards has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman in Hastings after picking her up as a passenger. Abdulhamid Alammar, aged 34 and residing in the Baldslow area, was convicted on Friday, March 6, at Lewes Crown Court for offences committed on November 29, 2024.

The incident unfolded when Alammar responded to a taxi request from a woman in her 30s at a friend's address in Hastings. Instead of taking her directly to her destination, he drove her to a secluded location where he carried out the sexual assault. The victim later disclosed the attack to police during an investigation into a separate sexual assault reported by another woman in April 2025, also involving Alammar in Hastings.

Following the disclosure, specially trained officers provided support to the victim, and an investigation was promptly launched by Sussex Police. Alammar was arrested and charged in connection with the November incident while already remanded in custody for the April allegations. In October 2025, he stood trial for the April offences at Lewes Crown Court, where he was convicted of sexual assault but acquitted of rape and sexual assault by penetration. He remained in custody awaiting trial for the November case.

During the trial for the November offences, the jury found Alammar guilty of sexual assault and causing a person to engage in non-penetrative sexual activity, but not guilty of false imprisonment. He has been remanded in custody pending sentencing for both convictions at Lewes Crown Court on a date yet to be confirmed.

Detective Constable Christina Bales of the Hastings Safeguarding Investigation Unit commented on the case, stating: “These were serious and predatory offences committed against women who should have felt safe. I would like to commend the victims for their courage in coming forward and supporting the investigation.” A spokesman for Sussex Police emphasised the force's commitment to supporting victims, noting that reports of sexual offences can be made online or by calling 101.
