The court heard that on 23 July 2016, a 27-year-old woman booked a private hire vehicle to take her home following an evening out. When she was dropped at her Wandsworth home, and was approaching her front door, the driver approached her from behind, picked her up and took her to rear of his car before raping her.Detective Constable Peter Monaghan, from the Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command, said: “This woman booked the cab in good faith to safely take her home. Durrani, realising the vulnerability of his victim, abused her trust and raped her.“This assault has had a significant impact upon her, and her life, and I would like to thank her for having the courage to come forward and give evidence in court.”
