0:00Stay informed with Europe news today. AI-powered updates. I'm Corey, with the story. A Glasgow taxi driver named Thomas Tosh, 39 years old, just got hit with a seven-year prison sentence for raping a 23-year-old. Woman he picked up after a night out. This happened back on September 30, 2023, in the early morning hours, and the judge called it a straight-up betrayal of trust. He grabbed her and her friends from a pub in Clydebank, dropped everyone else off, then killed the GPS tracking in his cam. Instead of heading to her place, he drove the opposite way to his home in Drumchabble, where she was too drunk to fight back or consent. The victim and her friends later spotted his face on social media, which kicked off the investigation. Folks reacted hard to this. Prosecutors slammed it as predatory behavior from someone sworn to get people home safe, and they praised the woman's guts. For pushing through the trial, DNA matches, text messages, and witness statements sealed the deal for the conviction at Glasgow's High Court.

1:03Tosh now sits on the Sex Offenders Register for Life, no getting off that list. Cases like this show prosecutors in Scotland ain't playing. They're locking down every angle to shield folks from these threats and deliver real. Justice.
