In 2026, the Offender Database reported that Kelvin Ndoro, then 42, of Kings Street, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, was sentenced to prison. On Thursday, 5 February 2026, Ndoro appeared at Nottingham Crown Court for sentencing after pleading guilty to a sexual assault committed while posing as a taxi driver.
The investigation established that in the early hours of 18 May 2025, Ndoro targeted a woman in her 20s who was walking home in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. He pulled alongside her in a VW Golf on South Sherwood Street and claimed the vehicle was a taxi. After the victim entered the car, Ndoro drove to a supermarket car park on Mansfield Road, locked the doors, and touched her leg. The victim managed to escape the vehicle and seek help from passers-by.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that the victim had recorded Ndoro touching her leg, which provided vital evidence for the investigation. Nottinghamshire Police identified the vehicle and arrested the defendant the following day at Toddington Services on the M1 in Bedfordshire. The judge noted that the defendant’s actions involved a significant breach of safety by impersonating a licensed driver to lure a vulnerable woman into his car.
The judge noted that the victim’s presence of mind in recording the interaction and providing detailed information was instrumental in the swift arrest. For his actions in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, the court determined that a custodial term was necessary to address the predatory nature of the offence. The prosecution noted that Ndoro eventually admitted the charge of sexual assault.
