A hotel manager who raped a guest and sexually assaulted three others has been jailed for 10 years.

Ahmed Fahmy, 46, was found to have used his position as a hotel worker in Barnet guilty to enter guests rooms without permission before launching his attacks.

Two women came forward to police after they had become separated from their group of friends on a night out.

They paid Fahmy for another room, but one of the women woke up to find Fahmy licking her feet.

Later, two of the group returned from the night out and also misplaced their room key.

Instead of offering her a new room, Fahmy coerced one woman into sharing his room, where he raped her.

During the investigation, officers then found his attacks date back from as early as 2008.

They linked him to two other non-recent sexual assaults, which largely involved Fahmy touching women’s feet.

Fahmy has been jailed for 10 years, with another three on extended licence.

But detectives fear Fahmy’s offending is much more widespread.

Detective Constable James Gomm from the Metropolitan Police, who led the investigation, said: ‘Fahmy used manipulation to abuse his position as a hotel worker and get close to his victims. He demonstrated a clear pattern of offending and abuse.

‘I would also like to commend the victim-survivors who have shared their experience to date for the bravery they have shown throughout the investigation and the court proceedings.

‘We believe there may be other victims and I would encourage anyone affected to get in contact with us – you will be listened to and receive specialist support and guidance, not only from the police but independent charities and services.’
