A Pakistani Uber Eats driver has been convicted of common assault for kissing a nine-year-old stranger on the cheek in the food court of a shopping centre south of Sydney.
International student Syed Talha Ahmad, 28, admitted kissing the girl, who was in her school uniform, at Stockland Shellharbour on August 5, but told police the act was acceptable in his culture.
The court heard Ahmad was at Guzman y Gomez at about 11.30am to pick up an order, and was about a metre away from his victim, who was standing behind an adult known to her while they were ordering food.
Ahmad leaned over, touched the back of the girl’s head, rubbed the top and back of her head, and then bent down and kissed her on the right cheek.
He later made full admissions to police, but said it was “culturally accepted in Pakistan to show kindness in this manner”, and that he was “unaware that touching a child, including a kiss on the cheek was an offence in NSW”, according to court documents.
His defence lawyer told the court the incident was not sexually motivated or premeditated, and asked the judge to spare his client a conviction so he can continue his master’s degree in project management and business analytics and keep working as a food delivery driver.
