An Afghan man, who was a private hire taxi driver and former British Army translator, was sentenced to seven years in jail for raping a teenager. Abdul Nabizada, 36, was accused of sexually abusing a 19-year-old woman who was on her way home from a night out in Edinburgh in November 2021.
Instead of taking his passenger home, Nabizada took advantage of the woman's 'intoxicated' state and drove her to a secluded area in Joppa, near Edinburgh. The translator then raped the woman. He also made sure to take her phone, so she couldn't call for help.
