A minicab driver who told a passenger he liked "hairy girls" and lesbian porn films before molesting her is facing jail.

Naeem Ahmed, 41, locked his teenage victim in his taxi and forced her to perform a sex act on him after bombarding her with sleazy questions.

A jury at Kingston Crown Court convicted the pervert of assault by penetration and he faces jail when he is sentenced on February 22.

The 19-year-old was on a night out with another girl and a male friend in Wimbledon village on May 18 last year when she fell foul of Ahmed, a licensed driver for Wimbledon Car Services.

The three friends hired Ahmed to take them home in his silver people carrier and the fiend immediately started talking dirty.

"He told them he liked hairy girls - not a conversation to everyone's taste, but they all played along," said Simon Shannon, proseucuting.

The male passenger got out at Raynes Park and the two girls stayed in the taxi, said Mr Shannon.

"The defendant also started talking about lesbians, asking the girls if they were lesbians."

The victim's friend then got out of the cab in Kingston, leaving the 19-year-old alone with the sleazy driver, who is married with three daughters.

Ahmed suggested the girl move into the front passenger seat in order to give him more detailed directions, and she agreed.

He asked her if she had any tips for him about how to sexually satisfy his partner, the court heard.

When he got to the victim's road, Ahmed drove straight past her house then parked the cab, locking the doors and leaning across her.

He grabbed for her crotch and exposed himself, then forced the girl to touch him sexually before fondling her.

The teenager finally managed to struggle free and unlock the door before jumping out of the cab and running home, where her mother called the police.

DNA traces linked Ahmed to the scene of the attack but he denied assaulting the girl, claiming she offered him sexual favours in return for a discount on the cab fare.

Ahmed, of Lynmouth Avenue, Morden, denied one count of assault by penetration.
