Cork taxi driver jailed for rape

A taxi driver who brought a woman back to a party in his apartment and raped her while she slept has been given an eight-year sentence with the last two years suspended at the Central Criminal Court today.

Mr Justice Paul Carney said that Anthony Omagufi’s position of a taxi driver was an aggravating factor as “women must be in a position to feel safe when they use a taxi, particularly late at night.”
