Detectives from the Brisbane Inner West Child Protection and Investigation Unit have laid additional charges following investigations into the alleged rape of women using a ride sharing service in the Brisbane and Ipswich areas.
Police will allege around 11.30pm on September 4, 2015, a teenage woman was raped while using the ride sharing service in Ipswich.
A 47-year-old man who was charged earlier this month as part of ongoing investigations has been charged with additional offences of one count each of rape and deprivation of liberty.
He will appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on July 31.
Detectives believe there could be other victims and are continuing to appeal for anyone who may have been assaulted in similar circumstances to report the matter to police.

Inner West Police go to the show
Police from the Inner West Patrol Group attended the annual Samford Show and conducted proactive public engagement activities and a static crime prevention display.
Whilst participating in the show, police were given the honour of leading the Grand Parade around the main arena on Sunday, which received a huge response from the show audience.
The main attraction of the police display was the static marked police car, which allowed up and coming junior police recruits to look over an operational marked car and wear a police uniform.
It’s highly likely that the QPS will see the positive results of this awesome interaction in the years to come.
Whilst police were engaging with the younger members of the community, they also took the opportunity to promote being a safe passenger in a motor vehicle by always wearing a seat belt and not distracting mum or dad whilst their driving.
Police also reminded our junior citizens that

Police, puppies and bikes, oh my!
The Fortitude Valley Bike Squad and the Brisbane Dog Squad were fortunate enough to take a break from their regular patrols to visit the Ronald McDonald House in South Brisbane.
Officers treated the kids to finger printing, plenty of stickers and photos with the bikes.
Everyone got to have doggy-cuddles with G Litter pups, Gypsy and Georgie, as well as 3-year-old Beau. Whose day can’t be made brighter by puppies? Look at their faces!
Opportunities like this are a great way to connect with the community and build positive, friendly and enjoyable relationships with the younger generations.
Thank you for having us, Ronald McDonald House!
