Episode Details

A private hire driver in Edinburgh received a seven-year prison sentence for raping a teenage girl in November 2021 — a crime that unfolded when she mistakenly got into his taxi, only to be taken to a remote location and assaulted. The victim escaped and alerted friends, prompting police to track down the suspect through CCTV footage and DNA evidence found on her clothing. Despite Nabizada’s claims of innocence and his background as a military interpreter in Afghanistan, the judge labeled it a “crime of opportunism.” He’s now on the sex offenders register indefinitely. Prosecutors praised the victim’s courage and the police’s meticulous investigation, underscoring their commitment to justice and urging others to come forward if they’ve been victims of sexual assault.
