| British cabbie uses Eid celebrations as ruse to rape passenger |
| 2008-12-12 |
| A taxi driver lured a male customer to his house before raping him, a jury was told. Raja Khan, 52, told his 23-year-old victim that Eid celebrations were taking place at his home, a court heard. Prosecutor Robert Elias QC said the man had agreed to go to his house in Richmond Street, Accrington, but asked to be taken home when he realised there was no party going on. He also became alarmed when Khan locked the front door behind him, Preston Crown Court heard. The jury heard the 23-year-old was left “frozen and shocked” as Khan raped him. Mr Elias said Khan suggested that they detour to his house. He said there was an end of Eid celebration. The victim had a bottle of cider, which he had started drinking. As they went into the Richmond Street property there was no signs of a celebration and the door was locked behind him. He wanted to leave when he realised there was no party, Mr Elias said. The jury was told Khan ripped off his victim’s shirt with such force that the buttons flew off. Khan then undressed himself before raping the younger man. Mr Elias said: “The victim was shocked and frozen by this.” The court heard that the victim was allowed to leave the house shortly after the attack. The 23-year-old had walked into CB Taxis in Accrington at 6am on October 14, 2007. He had spent the night in The Bridgewater pub before moving on to the Bee’s Knees club. Mr Elias said: “The victim was in a state and called a friend, and went back to the Bee’s Knees. He later told his mother what had happened.” Mr Elias said that when first interviewed by police Khan came up with a “pack of lies” and denied anything had taken place. But after being confronted with forensic evidence regarding the rape, Khan admitted consensual sex had taken place. Khan denies rape. |
