A taxi driver from Oslo, who worked for a support service, has been charged with sexual misconduct involving a vulnerable woman. The incident reportedly took place in 2024, where the male driver, in his fifties, is accused of taking advantage of a woman in her thirties who has reduced capabilities. This serious charge highlights issues of safety and trust within transportation services, particularly for those with vulnerabilities.

According to reports from Avisa Oslo, the driver has a troubling history, as he was also suspected of a sexual offense related to another transportation duty back in 2014. These allegations raise significant concerns regarding the vetting processes for individuals being employed in sensitive positions that involve transporting vulnerable individuals. It underscores the need for enhanced measures to ensure the safety of passengers in taxis and similar services.

Oslo Taxi has confirmed that the accused driver has not worked for them since he was reported in the fall of 2024. The case is currently being treated seriously, with the driver facing charges of obtaining sexual relations through an abuse of his position, reflecting broader societal issues regarding the treatment of vulnerable individuals and the accountability of those in service roles.
