In January 2024, Fahmy targeted four young tourists at the Anchor Guest Hotel in Golders Green.
When three women returned to the hotel in the early hours of January 20 without their room key, Fahmy demanded one of them withdraw £80 from a nearby cashpoint for a different room.
Once she complied, Fahmy let her into a separate room, where she fell asleep only to be awakened twice by Fahmy licking and sucking her toes.
Later that night, the fourth tourist returned and explained to Fahmy she had lost her room key.
Fahmy led her to his bedroom and raped her.
The group moved to another hotel and contacted the police, leading to Fahmy’s arrest the same day.

Fahmy, of Hampstead, northwest London, denied the charges but was convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault by a jury at Harrow Crown Court, sitting at Hendon Magistrates’ Court, for offenses committed between 2008 and 2024.
He was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing on 20 September.
Detective Constable James Gomm, who led the investigation, warned Fahmy may have claimed many more victims.
He said: ‘Fahmy displayed a clear pattern of offending where he abused his position as a hotel worker to get close to his victims and carry out his crimes.
‘I want to commend all the victim-survivors for the courage they have shown throughout this investigation.
Some of the offences in this case happened a number of years ago and some victim-survivors felt more able to support the investigation now that time had passed since their initial reports.
‘I do not underestimate for a moment the impact that reliving what happened will have had on those victim-survivors and I want thank them for supporting this investigation.
‘Your bravery has helped put a sexual offender behind bars and protect other women.
‘There may be other victims of Fahmy and, if so, I would urge them to get in contact with police immediately – you will be listened to and provided with support.’
