Delivery driver jailed for sexual assaults on women at Maidstone homes
Shafiullah Rasooli sentenced to two and a half years for attacks during food deliveries
A delivery driver has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison for sexually assaulting two women at their homes in Maidstone during food deliveries.
Shafiullah Rasooli, aged 29, committed the first offence on 26th June 2025 after delivering food ordered online to one of the victims.
He made inappropriate comments before stepping into her home and sexually assaulting her.
Rasooli returned to the property to commit another sexual offence and added his contact information to her phone.
He repeatedly called the victim in the days following, adding to her distress.
A week later, on 3rd July 2025, Rasooli targeted a second woman, making indecent comments about her relationship status before sexually assaulting her.
Both women reported the incidents to Kent Police, prompting an investigation.
Officers identified Rasooli’s vehicle through CCTV footage and tracked him down using screenshots of the victims' orders and contact details he had left.
Rasooli, of St Peter’s Street, Maidstone, was charged with three counts of sexual assault.
Despite denying the offences, he was convicted following a trial at Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court.
On Wednesday, 25th February 2026, Rasooli, an Afghan national, was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court.
He received a Sexual Harm Prevention Order in addition to the prison sentence.
Detective Constable Matthew Kerr said:
"Rasooli took advantage of his job to prey on the two vulnerable victims who had simply ordered food. His actions made them feel unsafe and violated in their own homes and he arrogantly thought he could get away with it. - However, a prompt investigation led to his arrest, and he is now serving a prison sentence. I would like to commend both victims for courageously reporting these crimes and then assisting us throughout the subsequent trial. I hope they can find some closure knowing their actions have protected other potential victims from harm."
