Edinburgh Taxi Driver Sentenced for Rape | Glasgow News

A private hire taxi driver in Edinburgh, Abdul Nabizada, has been sentenced to seven years for raping a teenage passenger in November 2021 — a crime that turned a routine ride home into a terrifying ordeal. The victim escaped, alerted friends, and police used CCTV showing Nabizada returning to the scene multiple times to build a damning case. Convicted at Edinburgh’s High Court in July 2026, Nabizada, now 36, faces indefinite registration as a sex offender and a non-harassment order. Prosecutors praised the victim’s courage and the police’s meticulous investigation, underscoring how trust was betrayed and justice delivered — a stark reminder of the devastating impact of sexual assault and the resolve to hold perpetrators accountable.
