Augustine Heights man allegedly sexually assaulted women while posing as rideshare driver

An Ipswich man arrested for alleged vile acts against multiple women has been named in court.

An Augustine Heights man who allegedly sexually assaulted multiple women while posing as a rideshare driver has faced court for the first time.

The 43-year-old appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday morning.

The man cannot be named yet for legal reasons.

He faces six counts of sexual assault, one count of entering a dwelling and one count of deprivation of liberty.

The matter was adjourned to November 16.

A Queensland Police spokesman said earlier the shocking acts were committed in late September and mid-October.

“Police will allege the man picked up young women in these areas and sexually assaulted them,” he said.

“On one occasion, police will allege the man dropped a woman at her home address in North Brisbane where he followed her into her residence and assaulted her.”

Detectives believe there may be more women who have been assaulted and are urging anyone who believes they may have been driven by the man to contact them urgently.
