On January 9, 2025, the St. Charles Police Department responded to a report of s*xual abuse in the 3100 block of Calhoun Drive. Investigation revealed that an 18-year-old victim had requested transportation via the Lyft rideshare application. At the conclusion of the journey, the Lyft driver allegedly s*xually abused the victim, who subsequently managed to escape and contact law enforcement. The driver has been identified as Ahmad Rayahi, 37 years of age.

On January 14, 2025, a second incident occurred involving a 34-year-old victim who had requested transportation through the UberX service. The driver, identified as the same Ahmad Rayahi, allegedly deviated from the intended destination and drove to a nearby business location. It is reported that Rayahi confined the victim in the vehicle and committed acts of s*xual abuse. The victim was able to contact a friend via text message, who subsequently alerted the pastor of the victim's intended destination. Upon confrontation by the pastor, the victim escaped. This incident took place within the jurisdiction of Lake St. Louis.

In cooperation with the Lake St. Louis Police Department, Rayahi was apprehended on January 15, 2025. The investigation also revealed that Rayahi was in the United States on a tourist visa, which has since expired.

On January 16, 2025, charges were filed by the St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. Rayahi has been charged with Harassment 1st degree, Sexual Abuse 2nd degree and Kidnapping 3rd degree with a bond of $250,000 cash only.

We urge any additional victims of Rayahi to contact their local law enforcement agency, the St. Charles Police Department Detective Bureau at 636-949-3320, or the Lake St. Louis Police Department.
