The court was told that Rashid, aged 38 and residing on Benson Street in Bury, had picked up the boy from his home as a customer.
Instead of taking him to his intended destination, Rashid drove the teenager to Megabowl in Pilsworth.
There, he took control of the situation by driving off the main route, pulling into a side area near the cinema, and engaging in sexual assault while the doors were locked.
