A taxi driver carried out a sickening sexual assault on his passenger after she fell asleep in the back of his vehicle.
Lucel Tugui drove past the woman's home and instead took her to a remote location, where he performed a series of vile acts on her. But the "devious predator" was caught out after the incident was recorded by a CCTV camera inside his car, with the footage having captured him "smugly" saying "she has no clue what happened" after dropping his victim off following his attack.
A trial at Liverpool Crown Court, prosecuted by Paul Becker, previously heard that she had attended a friend's birthday party at a property in Liverpool city centre on the evening of Sunday, July 31, last year. But she "drank too much too quickly and became very drunk", being called a taxi as others moved onwards to nearby bars.
