Bolton taxi driver jailed after raping his customer in Wigan



A TAXI driver has been sentenced to ten years in prison after being found guilty of raping his customer.

Dediki Mosi, 37, of Aldercroft Avenue, Bolton was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment at Manchester Crown Court earlier today (Friday, August 30) 2024) after being found guilty of rape and sexual assault, and sexual assault by penetration.

At 2.30pm on the September 19, 2020, the victim, a woman who was 29 at the time, said she had been for a few drinks and a meal with her friends in a pub in Wigan.

After going out for the meal, the victim went back to her friend’s house, later on in the night, she left her friend’s house, and a taxi was ordered to take her home.

Dediki Mosi, who was the taxi driver, assaulted the woman and raped her while she was in his car.

Mosi was arrested on suspicion of rape in October 2020. When interviewed by detectives, Mosi said ‘what rape?’ and also said that he used to have a working dash cam in his car, but the night of the rape, it was broken.

Mosi was subsequently charged with rape on 31 of March 2022.

Driver took advantage of victim

Detective Constable Sally-Anne Skellern of GMP’s Wigan District, said: “Mosi spotted his victim and took advantage of her, she was alone after going out for drinks with her friends and just needed someone to get her home safely.

“Mosi should have been the person who got her home safely, instead he raped her in his taxi.

“Our thoughts are with the victim as she tries to move forward with her life after this ordeal.

“We’d like to commend her bravery and persistence in assisting us with our case of the last 4 years to get Mosi behind bars.

“Mosi is a sexual predator and his monstrous actions saw him prey on a vulnerable young woman, it is unspeakable and I’m glad he is behind bars and the streets are a safer place for women without him.

“We want all members of our community, especially women and girls, to feel they are safe when going about their daily lives in Greater Manchester and we are working with partners across Greater Manchester to better achieve this.”

18 months between arrest and charge, two years between charge and trial.

Yet if you shout at a police dog, it is all done and dusted within days.
