man who falsely presented himself as a taxi driver has been convicted after a Scottish court found he deliberately misled and detained a young woman during what should have been a routine journey home, before subjecting her to serious and distressing misconduct inside his vehicle.
The case, heard at Falkirk Sheriff Court, highlighted the dangers of unlicensed transport and the vulnerability of individuals traveling alone at night. Jurors concluded that Mahmoud Kalawizada, 32, exploited trust and circumstance to place a 22-year-old woman in a situation of fear and harm, following a late-night encounter in Stirling.
