Birkenhead cabbie accused of double rape of teen girl

A TAXI driver raped a teenage girl twice after he picked her up following a night out, a court heard.

Cabbie Neil Hayes, 46, is alleged to have attacked the 19-year-old after she had been out to celebrate her sister’s birthday in Birkenhead town centre.

Liverpool Crown Court heard Hayes turned on the teenager after driving his private hire car into a quiet street off Ferry Road, near Eastham.

Henry Riding, prosecuting, told jurors that Hayes forced the girl to perform a sex act on him, before raping her.

He told how the girl jumped out of the car after her ordeal came to an end and was eventually found by a passing motorist in an extremely distressed state.

Hayes, of Brook Street, Birkenhead, denies two counts of rape in the early hours of July 4. He admits picking up the teenager, but insists all the sexual activity was consensual and told officers the girl was enthusiastic about it.

But Mr Riding told jurors that a doctor who examined the teenager after the alleged attack reported she had bleeding, swelling and bruising, indicative of “non-consensual sex”.

Mr Riding told how at about 4am lockkeeper James Hogan was driving home when he came across the teenager. She was sobbing so much she was unable to tell him what had happened and Mr Hogan was so concerned he went and got his wife Marie out of bed to come to her aid. The kind-hearted couple stayed with her until police arrived. Officers were soon able to trace the cab and Hayes was arrested.

Sobbing teen tells jurors “I couldn’t move” during alleged cabbie rape


A TEENAGER broke down as she relived to jurors how a taxi driver allegedly raped her twice.

The 19-year-old woman wept as she told Liverpool Crown Court of the night cabbie Neil Hayes, 46, allegedly attacked her.

Hayes, of Brook Street, Birkenhead, denies two counts of rape on July 4. The cabbie admits picking up the teenager in Birkenhead town centre in the early hours, but insists the sexual activity was consensual.

Jurors yesterday watched a video interview taken just a day after the alleged incident when the girl sobbed as she described how Hayes pulled up in a quiet road, near Eastham, and forced her to perform a sexual act on him. She told how he then raped her in his private hire car. The girl said: “I was just scared. It hurt, but he just carried on. I couldn't move.”

The girl said after her ordeal was over and Hayes began to drive away, she opened the car door until he slowed down and she jumped out. (Proceeding)

Rape accused cabbie insists: ‘She made a pass at me’


A CABBIE accused of raping a teenage passenger told jurors “she made a pass at me”.

Neil Hayes, 46, denies attacking the 19-year-old girl and insists all the sexual activity between them was consensual.

It is alleged the taxi driver raped her twice as he drove her home from a night out in Birkenhead town centre. Hayes, of Brook Street, Birkenhead, denies two counts of rape on July 4.

Giving evidence Hayes said: “I acted with her best interests at heart. Then she made a pass at me and I indulged.”

Hayes claimed they “fondled”, but were disturbed by another car, before she climbed into the back of his car and initiated sexual contact.

But Henry Riding, prosecuting, branded Hayes a “predatory male” who had preyed on the vulnerable girl while she was alone in the early hours.

I'm curious about this and the remand in custody of Mr Hayes. Is it the norm to remand those accused of rape?

well for 1, is her DNA in the front AND the back? (or any identifiable clothing fibres, etc)

DNA is left behind off everything we touch, nor just body fluids

Cabbie accused of raping teen in secluded Wirral spot


A TAXI driver raped a teenager twice after driving her to a secluded spot, a court heard.

Neil Hayes, 46, is alleged to have attacked the 19-year-old in his private hire car after picking her up following a night out.

Liverpool Crown Court heard the victim was celebrating her sister’s birthday in Birkenhead when Hayes picked her up on Conway Street.

Hayes, of Brook Street, Birkenhead, admits collecting the teen, but denies two counts of rape in the early hours of July 4.

But Peter Davies, prosecuting, told jurors Hayes had “been careful” to turn off his radio before picking up the girl.

He said: “He took her to a secluded location off the A41 and he raped her.”

When the woman was medically examined later that day she had bruising and bleeding “consistent” with forceful sexual activity.

He turned off his radio because he was pirating and not for any other reason, that's what they do when they pirate.

Isn't this his 2nd trial because the jury from the first trial couldn't come to a verdict?

Perhaps our council will do as some others have and advise drivers that it is 'not fit & proper' to indulge oneself in the back of their vehicle :wink:
