## Resource

An Uber driver sentenced to 16 years for raping a passenger after stopping in a lay-by, then fleeing — the victim alerted police, leading to his arrest where he was also found high on cocaine and attempting to destroy his phone. Investigators uncovered horrific child abuse and bestiality images, though he admitted to possessing them but denied the rape. Convicted on multiple charges including rape, sexual assault, threats to kill, and public knife possession, he also faces a 20-month driving ban and fines. Authorities warn more victims may exist, urging anyone with similar experiences to come forward — specialist officers are ready to help.
