TAXIS

November 1, 2013

A sentence of four years’ imprisonment was appropriate for an offence of sexual assault where the offender had pretended to be a taxi-driver, targeting lone, drunken females, and where he had prevented his victim from leaving his car before taking her to a dark area to assault her in extremely frightening circumstances. As the force was minimal and there was no attempt to undress his victim or degrade her in any way, a sentence of six years’ imprisonment was too long.

A sentence of five years and six months’ imprisonment imposed on a taxi driver who had followed a drunken passenger into her own home and had unprotected sexual intercourse with her whilst she was asleep on the sofa was found to be unduly lenient and increased to eight years.
