A 19-year-old Scottish footballer has been jailed after raping a woman who had invited him into her home simply to charge his phone. The young woman, described in court as a 'Good Samaritan', offered kindness to a stranger — and was instead met with violence.
Niall Geany was sentenced to three years and nine months in prison at the High Court in Glasgow after being found guilty of rape. The attack took place on 3 March 2024 in Edinburgh, after Geany and the victim met during a night out. The court heard that the woman had shared a taxi with Geany after leaving a bar. When they arrived near her home, he said his phone had died and asked if he could come inside to charge it. She agreed.
