The 34-year-old was sentenced in January on two counts of sexual assault as a result of incidents that took place even in the spring of 2016, when he was on duty as a driver in City Wide Taxi.

He attacked another female, 19, taking her by taxi home to Mount Pearl on an evening with her friends, where she joined the party. While she was leaving a basement bathroom, Jakupaj supported her on the wall, kissing her strongly and pulled her pants partially down.
