Edinburgh private hire driver who asked women for sex when they couldn't pay fare has conviction re-instated

A "predatory" private hire driver who pestered girls for sex when they had no money for their fare will be made to sign the Sex Offenders Register after prosecutors overturned his appeal against his conviction.

Faisal Aziz, of Edinburgh, was driving his Volkswagen Passat in South College Street in the capital when he was hailed by two women aged 18 and 21.

When they told him they couldn't pay for the fare until they reached their destination, he asked: "What else can you offer...sex?" reports the Daily Record.
