The claim is detailed in a search warrant related to the alleged 2015 incident involving 40-year-old cabbie Bassam Al-Rawi, and outlines the woman’s earlier allegations. The woman, who is not named, said she was driven to an apartment by a cab driver, taken upstairs and sexually assaulted sometime in 2012, according to the warrant. She said they are reopening the investigation into an alleged sexual assault on Dec. 15, 2012, that involved a cab driver, but could not confirm the suspect’s name since charges have been laid. Several hundred protesters gathered in Halifax on March 7 to protest the acquittal of a taxi driver accused of sexual assaulting an intoxicated woman in his cab. “This does not mean, however, that an intoxicated person cannot give consent to sexual activity,” he said.
