Hermes delivery driver exposed himself and carried out sickening sex attack on disabled customer as he dropped off a parcel
The vulnerable victim was unable to fight off Wasim Bhar as he molested her in her own home
A HERMES delivery driver who sexually assaulted a disabled woman as he dropped off a parcel at her home has been jailed for four years.
The terrified victim was unable to fight back as Wasim Bhar, 24, exposed himself and groped her in her home.
The woman told a jury: “He gave me the parcel, and I threw it behind me in the hallway, and said ‘thank you.’
“He said, ‘I’ve seen you before. I fancy you, love’.
“I said, ‘You don’t even know me, and I don’t know you.’ I stood there feeling shocked.”
She said Bhar asked whether she was alone and she said someone else was in another room.
She went on: “He backed off, but then he came back at me.
“He grabbed my arm and held it up, and then he pulled my t-shirt up.
"I started pushing him out of the door, but he kept coming back, asking me to do things with him.
“I was scared for my life.”
Bhar, whose Facebook posts including him posing with boxing champ Amir Khan, denied wrongdoing and told police the woman was "delusional", The Birmingham Mail reports.
But he was convicted after the jury heard he left DNA at the scene in Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham.

Judge Richard Griffith-Jones said: “You attacked a woman who was disabled.
"She manages very well, but she needs that important commodity for someone who is disabled, confidence. She puts great store by the haven and refuge of her home.
“You had access to her by reason of your employment as a delivery driver, something you should not have been doing. They would never have employed you if they had known what a thoroughly dishonest person you were.
“The grave features of this case are that you attacked a disabled woman for your own sexual gratification, you went into her home to do so, what you did was an abuse of trust, and you have shown not an ounce of regret.”
The judge added: “The defendant has no convictions for sexual offences, but the jury may be concerned to learn that an employee of Hermes has a number of convictions for theft and other dishonesty.”
An impact statement from the victim was read out before sentencing. She said: “My home was all I had, and was my safe place. Since this thing happened to me it’s not my safe place anymore, because of this man.”
Jasvir Mann, defending, said: “Whether the defendant understands it or not, a victim is entitled to feel they have sanctuary in their own home.
"He does not admit the offence, but acknowledges the jury found him guilty and that he is going to be punished accordingly.”
He was jailed for four years and must sign the sex offender register for life.
